Staff Review This mouthpiece feels like it gives a great balance of high and low frequencies, with a nice blending point. For me the overall sound concept is a medium bright one – the resistance is medium and it’s easy to play in quite a powerful way, always with true and centred core. If you like the Hard Rubber Robusto but prefer the feel of metal, it is definitely worth you trying this piece –…

After 3 years of research, AIZEN is proud to release their first large chamber metal mouthpiece. Designed to produce that legendary smoky saxophone sound. AIZEN manufactures this mouthpiece by shaping a special vintage alloy using their precise milling technology. The end result is a mouthpiece that gives a powerful, fat, dark, and rich sound. Easy to blow and easy to control from a pianissimo ton…

I’m pleased to say that I was bowled over by these mouthpieces when I first got my chops on them! Mo…

1AO - I call it the "One and Only" because it's the only mouthpiece I've played throughout my entire career. In 1980, Michael Brecker spent many months painstakingly working with a craftsman to create a totally "handmade" mouthpiece. They meticulously refined all of the things Mike didn't like in other mouthpieces: stuffiness, too open or too closed, too much high end or too much low end, ease of…

FATBOY mouthpieces are fatter than the original Guardala’s. The elliptical shape allows the mouthpiece to have a larger size, with a lesser increase of weight. The resulting size/weight ratio is the only way of producing a “BALANCED SOUND” with a mouthpiece larger than the original Dave Guardala Mouthpiece. (Original Chamber) 116 Though the legendary Dave Guardala himself is no longer making mouth…
