This is a Warburton soprano saxophone mouthpiece made by Eric Falcon.  This is one of the best soprano mouthpieces I have had the pleasure of playing.   It plays effortlessly and has a big fat soprano sound to it.  The first day I played on it, I actually recorded a few lessons with it because I felt so comfortable on it.  It has a .065 tip opening which is right around where I prefer.  I use to use play mostly around a .070 but I noticed my embouchure would get tired after awhile.  With the .065 I don’t have that problem.  ………………

Warburton Soprano Mouthpiece

• Appearance:

The tip and rails of this mouthpiece are perfect.  The tip curve is slightly different than the shape of the Vandoren Java reeds I use but it makes no difference in the way it plays.  The baffle looks to be slightly lower than my Selmer Super Session and the chamber slightly larger. It’s a little smaller than my other soprano mouthpiece on the outside and my Vandoren Optimum ligature wouldn’t fit on it.  I had to use a LAW ligature that I had in my ligature box.

• Tone:

It seems to have a fatter bigger sound to me than the other soprano mouthpiece I have tried.  I think the bigger chamber allows this to happen. It is in no way a large chambered mouthpiece but it is slightly larger than  others I have played.

• Intonation:

Nothing stuck out intonation wise.  It was good and within the normal spectrum for this Yamaha soprano.

• Control:

This was a very easy mouthpiece to play and control.  It is very even sounding up and down the horn.

• Volume:

Volume was great on this mouthpiece also.  It played soft to very loud easily. Up high I had to be careful that the high notes didn’t get to bright and higher volumes but that is normal for this soprano.
