BARI HAWK FOR ALTO - Review by Jules@sax.co.uk With it's tiny chamber and extreme baffle the Hawk has a very distinctive sound. Bright, focussed and cutting, this is not a mouthpiece for the fainthearted. It is not, however, a standard 'screamer', there's something different going on here- a fluid, flexible tone which is almost reminiscent of playing a clarinet. This, combined with the fact note bending seems very natural on this 'piece, drew me toward firing off Dixieland & klezmer riffs- both of which felt very natural on this set up. Quirky, but definitely worth a try for anyone looking for something a bit different.
