Dave Guardala was famous for producing expensive handmade mouthpieces for sax legends such as Michael Brecker. Along came laser technology which enabled exact replicas to be produced at a lower cost. In tests, professional players failed on every occasion to pick the original from the laser cut models. Tenor models have been intermittently available for many years and for many players they are the ultimate mouthpiece. Now, at last, alto models are available!"This is the slightly darker model in the Guardala range but that doesn't mean it's dull in the slightest, it's one of the brightest mouthpiece's I've played. This mouthpiece felt very free blowing with it's closer lay and this certainly helps with the altissimo, which came through clear and concise. Across the entire range it maintains a smooth, even response and didn't give up when it hit the higher registers. If there are times when you need a powerful, punchy ,bright sound without too much edge, then this could be the mouthpiece for you. Astonishing sound produced from something so small!" scott@sax.co.uk
