Joe, Thanks for such a great job and fast. Both piece are excellent. The Lemaire is unbelievably dark and smooth and will be good for chamber like we thought. The Caravan is perfect.  I used to to use it all the … Read More

Probably the most difficult thing for many players to realize is that they really have little or no idea about why a soprano mouthpiece doesn’t play well for them. It’s just as likely to be true about the other saxophones … Read More

I wanted to let you know that yesterday was able finally to play the mouthpiece (looks beautiful) for a few minutes.  The first thing i notice right away in the 10’ or so that i was able to play is … Read More

The mouthpiece is great!  Just like my tenor piece it plays so effortlessly and sounds great! Thanks for your attention to detail.

The mouthpiece arrived today.  I tried it with the reeds I played With before, and I find the intonation to be corrected successfully. I now can play octaves up and down – from i.e low D# and E to high … Read More

Gave the Martin a whirl tonight. Love it. I bought a 1927 straight Buescher a couple months ago and this fits it perfectly. Gentle. Rich. Fabulous. I’ll use the Open Sky 2 for more aggressive stuff on the Cannonball Arc … Read More

I received the mouthpiece on Friday late afternoon ! So, I had all the week-end to try it and enjoy the music. Great ! Beyond what I expected… If I could make a metaphor, I would say that when I play the … Read More

Hi Joe! The mouthpieces arrived yesterday and they play great!  I was even able to pop out some altissimo on the Rascher.

After getting used to a bigger chamber and a broader dynamic range (compared to my trusty Riffault),  I started really enjoying the new qualities of the piece. A bigger, fatter, smoother and rounder sound with a lot of colour.  My … Read More

Mouthpiece arrived safe and sound…jeez Louise what a mpc! I knew that if you said it is good, it will be…IT IS GOOD. It works wonderfully with my Couf, clearing up some inherent quirks one gets with any saxophone. It … Read More

If you’ve been playing soprano sax for a bit, you already know that it is different than the other saxophones. If you’ve acquired a good, well balanced soprano mouthpiece, you also know how that immediately improved your playing. It really … Read More
