"The sound, the intonation and the ease of playing are the factors that I believe will make this mouthpiece a classic. This soprano mouthpiece will deliver a round full sound with very good projection. I'm extremely proud of this soprano sax mouthpiece because it was actually the most difficult ESP yet. I wanted to get the free blowing fullness that the ESP alto and tenor mouthpieces have, with those big, beautiful, easy low notes. The soprano sax is known for being more difficult to play on the very bottom of the horn, but I wanted to change that. We made a total of 26 prototypes, trying to get the right feel and sound. I did extensive research and experimentation on the chamber of this mouthpiece to eliminate the nasal quality associated with many soprano saxophone mouthpieces. Personally, I feel that we accomplished the goals that I set for the mouthpiece, and now I have a soprano sax mouthpiece that has rejuvenated my own soprano playing. My wish is that it will help all who play it, make beautiful music. " Jody Espina
