The 5ZS is a common modification that has been requested so frequently that we decided to add it to our regular line. This mouthpiece features the same rim, drill and back-bore found on our 5Z with a shallow cup. The 5Z was modeled after a Doc Severinson model of the 70's, this mouthpiece is perfect for those who play a 3-5 for legit work, but need to switch to something different for commercial work. The hole (28) gives you "zing" to "cut through" the section and keep up with the other players who are playing shallow equipment. Because of the added resistance, it is easier to play in the high range. It has a big fat bright sound. This mouthpiece sits between our 3 and 5 inner diameter, but has a different shaped rim and is more commercial sounding.
