Well, Joe, what can I say? The mouthpiece is simply fabulous, I’ve been playing it for two days now almost no stop, which seems to confirm my suspicion that a good mpc makes you improve not only because of its … Read More

I don’t know how you do it! I was excited to get the MP yesterday and took it out for a quick test drive. It sang right from the start – free blowing, beautiful rich sound. Totally in tune with … Read More

I just received the mouthpiece and I must say: astonishing. I gave it a quick try – it plays exactly as I hoped, it would. A warm, full sound, especially the upper registers respond perfectly. Much fuller and easier than … Read More

I can already tell that this is the best mouthpiece that I’ve had and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. It has a very immediate response with excellent dynamics. I can go with great ease from pianissimo to forte levels. It also … Read More

I got the pieces yesterday. They’re so much better than before. The intonation has improved, the tone is more even across the registers, the shrillness in the top end has been tamed, the low notes speak easier and they both … Read More

My surprise with this mouthpiece is that it is both fat and focused at the same time…it has a rich fat tone but also is incisive with lots of bite…It has edge and volume when needed and a fat velvety … Read More

Mouthpiece arrived last night. I only had a short time to play on it, but , to be honest,  it only took 2 seconds to know it is a great mouthpiece! Thanks. I always thought talk of a soprano feeling … Read More

Hi Joe, the piece is here and I find it excellent. The first sensation is that is very flexible on dynamics; my Bari isn’t. Now it’s time to study and find the right reeds. I think Marca 1 1/2 .

I was worried whether Selmer Soprano Series 3 would be able to reach A=442Hz, but it turned out to be fine! There was a margin of 5mm to the end of the cork. This mouthpiece is pretty great. The mid-low … Read More

Holy $#@$  Joe! This OPEN SKY SL has everything that I love about my missing link only more. It’s so agile especially altissimo but it articulates faster and gives me control further back in my mouth. It’s the most tonally … Read More

It arrived this morning in perfect condition. I have just played 15 minutes on it with the #3 Marca reed… Wow ! is all I can say. This is a beautiful piece. It will take me time to get it … Read More

I got the Missing Links today and spent a couple of hours trying them on different horns. They are both wonderful in terms of sound, playability and feel! They match my horns perfectly and I get the sound I want … Read More

The piece came yesterday as we were leaving town so I could not try it until this morning. I have been playing your Metropolitan for some time now, but this one blew me away from the moment I played the … Read More

The OPEN SKY SL mouthpiece is an absolute amazing mouthpiece with NO BAFFLE at all, just like the legendary mouthpiece that inspired its creation: the piece played by the great Steve Lacy. There is no baffle! The mouthpiece opens up directly into the medium chamber and ends with a “racetrack” shaped throat, like Steve’s mouthpiece. You’ll be amazed when you play it.

Each mouthpiece hand made by me, and play tested by me until it has all the qualities of that legendary mouthpiece. Guaranteed.… Read More

Yes!! It plays awesome and beautiful. i love It. I can push hard or play mellow, its fantastic from bottom to the top.

I finally got to spend time with the new piece. I have to say it’s very nice to play – easy to blow, lots of tonal possibilities from rich to subtone. I think it will make a world of difference to … Read More

Joe, what can I say? The piece is incredible. Spot on intonation. Ease through the range of the horn. And the palm keys pop out effortlessly. And I am amazed that the .065 projects as it does. Thanks so much for … Read More

Hey Joe, I got your mouthpiece this afternoon…..it is perfect! After I figured out that I put the ligature on upside down it just sings! Can’t believe that I used that Selmer metal piece for nearly 50 years. Never tried … Read More

Great job on the mouthpiece! I love it and thank you for the reeds that you sent!
