Hi Joe, it came today ! I The S440 soprano mouthpiece is just amazing on the Buescher tipped-bell, it plays perfectly in tune on it (!) and the sound is softer and a bit brighter than with the Missing Link … Read More

Your mouthpiece arrived today. I had a chance to blow quite a few phrases before theatre time, and now I’m ready for its first gig. It’s utterly amazing! Big, rich, warm and clear sound just the way I like it, … Read More

The mouthpiece is everything you promised. It matches perfectly the Yani. I was amazed how well the high range speaks so freely and clear. I tried it with the reeds I usually use V16 and Hemke. Hemke worked fine, but … Read More

The amazing Steve Lacy mouthpiece. Actually there were 3 or 4 of them. The Link factory made them especially for Steve and when he departed this world in 2004, there was only one left. This is it. I played this mouthpiece … Read More

I’m writing this because I have noticed how many players, whether beginners or long-time players, do not seem to know about using reed & ligature placement to vary tone on soprano sax. REED PLACEMENT Where you align the tip of … Read More

After 63 years of playing saxophone, I can say that 40 of those years have been devoted to the soprano. I grew up playing R&B music, went to college by accident (changed my life), discovered the jazz of the 1960s … Read More

I received the Open Sky today. I am so thrilled how nice and smooth it sounds. I have spent many years buying soprano mouthpieces from just about every manufacturer. I was never happy with my sound. Today I recorded a … Read More

One of the most rewarding things about being fully devoted to soprano mouthpieces ( and not distracted by trying to be a jack-of-all-mouthpiece maker ) is that I get to spend a lot of time on very specific … Read More

Well, I made it back from this recent road trip and putting first things first, I unboxed the mouthpiece. And to my delight, something magical happen when I played on your work, of my Link. It plays GREAT!!! It may … Read More

Forgot to say that I’ve never had so much joy with playing the soprano as now. It’s really a pleasure!

Holy Mother of God. This is perfect. Seriously, I’m really (immediately—right out of the box) enjoying this. I’m shocked that such ease of play can produce tone with such gravitas. The ligature is very good, too! Hats off to you, … Read More

It’s this magnificent, beautiful thing, which was obviously created and meant to be played on my Couf. It speaks with a deeply personal, introspective voice, and I keep finding myself falling into this wonderfully delicate, yet not fragile, singing voice … Read More
