I’ve been developing a large chamber version of my enormously popular Missing Link mouthpiece. It has taken a year but the results were worth the effort! Vintage “large chamber” pieces run the gamut from very good to unplayable, and you … Read More
I received the mouthpiece on Thursday. I can’t believe how good it is. Low notes speak easily and the intonation is amazing. I’m looking forward to spending a lot of time with it. Thank you for a great experience and … Read More
The Ferrari of soprano sax mouthpieces!… Read More
The mouthpiece arrived yesterday, and I spent the morning trying it out. I am very happy and impressed with the improvements you have made. It blows with much less resistance, has greater stability over its range, and is well-balanced. Great … Read More
The mouthpiece arrived and it’s fantastic! I’m at long last getting a true Bechet sound after trying many mouthpieces, everything you said is right and it’s especially good with the Marca 2 reed! I’m very impressed and can’t thank you … Read More
Piece arrived this morning. Had a few minutes and just what I was after. It’s great when you play a piece and you know there’s so much depth and so much to find out about it Thanks
Hi Joe, I have to say your mouthpiece is wonderful. It has a warm and rounded tone, typical soprano voice but totally far from the “duck” nasal voice of many pieces. Definitely it’s wonderful! I can play it easily with … Read More
Thanks for the mouthpiece. I’ve had about 4 hours on it in the practice room and one short live gig. It’s a keeper and made just as I had asked for. It is easy playing and responsive from low Bb … Read More
I received the S440 and have been enjoying playing on it. It’s a perfect complement to the Keilwerth and really makes the horn sing! Thanks so much!
I received the mouthpiece today and have been playing it for an hour, and what an amazing piece! Rich in all registers, dark, beautiful sound, yet it still has lots of power. And I have never had a piece with … Read More
The mouthpiece is great, the overblowing tendencies are much much less, the tone sounds rich, it is shocking how pianissimo the horn can be played without strangling the timbre! And now it is again me being the limiting factor, not … Read More
Fiction. So, we are supposed to believe that there is something about the soprano sax that requires a tighter, firmer embouchure than an alto, tenor or baritone sax? I hear this nonsense quite often from players that believe it. Of … Read More
The mouthpiece arrived today. Thank you so much! It has a great sound and is absolutely fun to play. I’m not perfect on it by any means, but it is definitely an improvement over how it was before and I … Read More
This Morgan Alto piece that you did for me really plays beautifully. Its like having a new horn.
I’ve played the Riffault, and it plays GREAT!
Spent some time on the soprano this morning checking out the new mp. Can’t thank you enough. You’ve given me just what I want with lots of room to grow. The sound is fat, sweet and expressive. The intonation is spot-on through … Read More
After playing my current Yanagisawa mouthpiece for 20 years, I finally took the risk of having Joe rework it. He balanced it, and it opened up in amazing ways. It’s much more responsive throughout the horn, yet the results are … Read More
Just a note to tell you that I received the tenor pieces at the end of day yesterday. I had a chance to play them for a couple of hours this morning. You did a truly excellent job with both! … Read More
Hyperbole aside, what type of voodoo did you use on my mouthpiece ? Sound is more consistent, controllable and MUCH cleaner. Wow. Just wow. Thank you.
(Barry bought a Missing Link second-hand. I rebalanced it for his curvy soprano) Got the piece today and wow. I’ve been playing my soprano for over 20 years now and it has never sounded as sweet and engaging and flexible … Read More
