TestimonialHad around half an hour to sneak off and play after work. WOW. It feels like I’m playing a totally different instrument the whole horn just lit up and it felt even from top to bottom. It’s gonna take some … Read More
Having so much fun with this mouthpiece. Oddly enough the 2.5 kept closing up – threw a 3 on there and the whole experience was different. Tension, pressure in the throat – gone. Sound, well, it was kind of like … Read More
The Open Sky 2 with the 2.5 Legere was the best combo of the lot. F#3 and G3 sing out with ease, and low C1, B1 and Bb1 fit in with the tone of the notes up the scale. The … Read More
I got the mouthpiece on Monday. It’s really great, Joe. So even across the range. I am really enjoying the big, colorful sound I get from it. And so comfortable to play. Thank you very much!
Wow! The Open Sky 2 was a significant step ahead for me… So easy to play and hyper responsive. But the “Missing Link” is precisely what I was hoping for. The richness and fuller harmonic, warmer tones…OMG! Joe your soprano … Read More

I got the mouthpiece today. And just finish playing it for about 30 minutes. Wow! What I can say? This is a beast!!! I can do things now I couldn’t do before on the soprano! Before I couldn’t figure out … Read More
It arrived this morning, and, with consideration for my neighbours, I have as yet only given it a 5 minute test, which was enough to completely blow me away. It responds to thinking of playing a note and has the … Read More
Lots of well-intended advice about “taking more mouthpiece” seems to pop up all the time on various saxophone blogs and discussions, but rarely try taking LESS mouthpiece on soprano sax, and I think this is a very overlooked and important … Read More
I got he mouthpiece today. All I can say is : this is crazy!!! How can one mouthpiece be that good and make so much of a difference ? This is like a different horn now, the piece really brings out … Read More
To say I’m impressed with your work, would be an understatement. The acoustics and sound were just what I was looking for. The responsive performance truly stands apart. The Open Sky 2 is the perfect mouthpiece for my Selmer Series … Read More
Free evaluation of your mouthpiece. This is as simple as it gets. Before you buy yet “another” saxophone mouthpiece, send me yours. I will inspect and measure up your mouthpiece , and report to you what I find regarding table, … Read More
Love the mouthpiece. It’s playing great on a number of different reeds (Legere, Fibercell, Hartmann, etc) and has a really lovely core tone to it. Stable, as well…intonation doesn’t seem to be an issue at all any more in the … Read More
Love it love it love it wow what a difference thank you so much!
‘Ok, you were right and I love it !’ I have been very tempted to write only this as a feedback to you about the Missing Link you made for me. The alternative was to write 8 pages of comments … Read More
Hi Joe, I received the new mouthpiece last night and had a chance to play for a bit. Once I readjusted the mouthpiece on the cork and my bottom lip, it plays super smooth! It’s definitely far more responsive and clearer … Read More
The mouthpiece came today. I have it on my G mezzo right now needless to say it’s killer! Opened up the horn a bit more and there’s a lot of nuance, I had it on my Keilworth for awhile too. … Read More
It’s just arrived. I am lost for words. It is fantastic. It’s easy blowing and the tone is perfect. It’s quite big, solid and warm. I never believed I would ever play Sentimental Mood on a soprano, but I just … Read More
