TestimonialThe mouthpiece is much improved. It still felt a little “off” the first couple of times I played it. Then one day, I thought I was playing my friend’s unmarked “mystery” piece that I like and I was SO happy … Read More
Completely stunning! Much more centered that I would have thought from Philippe’s sample. Instant response. Huge sound. Rich, vital…Thank you Joe!
Joe I played my mouthpiece again yesterday and I love it! Surely it plays as I hope to be,first very dark,and also with great response! Thank you, my friend. You did a fantastic job !
What do you get when you play a larger tip opening on soprano? What qualities does it add or subtract, if any? These are legitimate questions and, unfortunately, there are way too many myths and old wives’ tales that abound … Read More
Out of tune mouthpiece. Can there be such a thing? Well, yes. I know because I have actually “tuned” mouthpieces for players. And if you asked me 4 years ago, I wouldn’t have automatically answered yes, but I have … Read More
Hi Joe, Well…. I’m speechless. The mouthpiece really sings and it has the sound I like, the articulation remains excellent even with the changes you made on the lay and the baffle. The piece does everything I want, so this … Read More
It took me a little longer than anticipated to adjust to the piece, but then the transmission dropped into gear and it’s been oh so smooth to drive ever since. The more I play it, the more I love it–which … Read More
I don’t know what you’re doing over there, but keep doing it. The mouthpiece sounds and plays beautifully.
Just to let you know I got my piece just this morning… I do not know what say…it is amazing… Really is…Just this morning I was playing “when I fall in love” and it demands some expression to be even … Read More
You are a genius! The mouthpiece is pure silk – I love it!
The ML really is the best mouthpiece I’ve ever played. It’s free blowing, and I was able to hit some altissimo notes last week I’d never dreamed of hitting before. Not to mention the slurs and bent tones that Lacy … Read More
Just wanted to let you know that I’m really really happy with your mouthpiece. It’s simply outstanding and makes playing so much more fun and easy! I love it and you seem to be a mouthpiece wizard!
I will always be in your debt for making such a great piece.The palm keys and to the extended range were, for a lot of years, an area that I was never happy with. The combination of the Yamaha 62 … Read More
My Yamaha 62 has gone from being an occasionally stubborn donkey to a nicely responsive filly. I am very happy with the sound I’m getting and people have noticed and commented. Thanks again for your wonderful work and knowledgeable approach. … Read More
It is exactly what I wanted. The shape fits me perfectly.The sound is warm but complex. When Stan Getz had his tenor stolen all he wanted was the mouthpiece back for a reward. A good mouthpiece is hard to find. … Read More
Joe, the mouthpiece plays great, effortless and with a warm tone! A solid piece to work with,and to build a sound! Thank you very much!
Many thanks for the great mouthpiece. It was immediately very comfortable for me, and works beautifully on my saxello. The low register speaks effortlessly and feels totally connected. I love it! I think the Open Sky 2 is a bit … Read More
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve had a good amount of time to play the piece, at home and in public, and I think it’s fantastic. You did an amazing job! Thanks so much!
Wow. I can’t believe I was playing on those other pieces. I loved it immediately and it just keeps getting better. My only regret is that you don’t make pieces for the other horns! You were right about the high/low … Read More
