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!"One of the best! - its bright, its punchy and it's everything a contemporary player could want. The response is like no other, supremely adaptable - you blow soft, it plays mellow and smooth, you blow hard, and it "smacks" out like a kind slap around the face! Not harsh but bold and bright with bucket loads of power! With its more open lay it does require a strong air supply to get this HUGE sound but don't let that put you off one of the best sounding mouthpieces around - just try a softer reed." scott@sax.co.uk"The King notches it up a level with a bigger lay and a brighter attack. Approximating a 7 tip opening, it requires a little more air but delivers a lot more punch. This mouthpiece is loud - it will please many players wanting to compete with an amplified band and will be perfect for aggressive blues or fusion contexts. " Will@sax.co.uk
