Drake Ceramic Small Chamber Soprano Mouthpiece
September 25th, 2009 | 
Author: This is a new Drake ceramic soprano mouthpiece that I am trying out. This piece has a .065 tip opening and a small chamber. The mouthpiece plays with a nice focused tone. Much more focused sounding than the Drake large chambered mouthpiece. If you listen to both clips you can hear the difference between a fatter more spread sound and a more focused direct sound.
I really liked this soprano mouthpiece a lot also. It has a more focused sound to it but I don’t hear it as being too bright or getting thin at all. The intonation was great on it as well as the notes being even up and down the horn. I think the ceramic material gives a little bit more of a ring to the sound than you get from a hard rubber mouthpiece.

I just listened to a couple of clips of sop pieces, both of the Drakes and your Super Ses.
My vote goes to the Drake small chamber. It’s the most enjoyable one to listen to for me. The large chamber one gets a little ‘ducky’, and the super is brighter with more of a buzzy nasal quality. It may seem louder when you’re behind it but the mike picks up the highs that you don’t get while you are playing. Just my 2 cents.
