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
I received the mouthpiece Wednesday and, from the first blow, the experience is fantastic! Me and my King Saxello are very happy: perfect intonation with a beautiful rich warm & pitch-centered sound…easy blowing with perfect mix of resistance… amazing dynamic. … 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
So, great discussions have arisen from the first post on this subject. It has prompted me to continue down this road a little further. To briefly summarize the general responses asserting that concavity is preferable to a flat table and … 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
This will be short. The whole idea that some manufacturers of sax mouthpieces actually design their pieces to have concave tables is ludicrous, both in theory and practice. Let’s start with the theory: the concavity is there so that 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

thank you for this soprano mouthpiece after I have received today I tried it. And it is really the best mouthpiece in that kind of sound I have found. The sound is warm but it is possible to push 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
Received Mouthpiece , I played it for about 1/2 an hour before work this morning. Will play it more on lunch break and after school. I was worried it would be too dark , But I love it Wish I … Read More
I am a sax player in college who formerly used a Yamaha 4C (.49) mouthpiece. The moment I played the ML (.58) the notes seemed to effortlessly jump out of the horn with a fuller sound that is easier to … Read More
Well, I’ve had the Missing Link for about 48 hours now and I’ve played it a lot. I’ve put it through its paces. And I want you to know: I’ve tried, and I’ve tried, and I’ve tried, but I just … Read More
You recently made me this mouthpiece and I have to say, that it’s not just the sound that I sought, but even better. Now, I love my soprano more than ever and I find it a good match with my … Read More
