This is the Freddie Gregory refaced HR link that I recorded on another clip. It played great but to be honest…..it was way to picky with reeds. It would take me forever to find a good reed. I sent it to Brian and had him work on it and set the tip at .080 which Read More…

This is a Berg Larsen hard rubber mouthpiece that I won on ebay. It was advertised as being worked on by Freddie Gregory. I was not happy with it when I got it at all. I would be very surprised if Freddie Gregory had worked on this. It didn’t seem to play like most of Read More…

This was a Meyer G with a 5 opening. It was way to small for my tastes. I sent it to Brian Powell to reface it and open it to a .076. It played nice before and had a lot of volume but it felt to closed for me. This was the first piece I Read More…

This is an old HR link that was refaced by Freddie Gregory. When ever I see Freddie Gregory’s name on a mouthpiece I have to take a look. I have played so many great pieces of his that I know he does incredible work. Here’s a link to his website. I just bought this mouthpiece Read More…

I received this piece a few weeks ago from Laurie Waldron in the UK. He’s been making great tenor mouthpieces for awhile and now he’s taking a shot at some alto mouthpieces. These are two pieces that are prototypes that he wanted to get my opinions on. This piece is metal and has bullet shaped Read More…

Here is another LAW prototype alto sax mouthpiece from Lawrie Waldron. This one has a baffle that is similar to the LAW “Buzzer” tenor piece. It looks like it is made from the same blank as the LAW tenor mouthpiece but is shorter. It has a fatter smoother sound than the bullet chamber prototype. I Read More…

This is from a new mouthpiece maker out of Japan. I must say that who ever owns this company pays attention to the details. The packaging of the piece is beautiful and it even comes with cork grease and a mouthpiece patch. The mouthpiece looks perfect. It’s got that quality hard rubber look to it Read More…

This is a new LAW mouthpiece I received in the mail yesterday from Mr. Waldron. I really dug this one and played it for awhile this morning. The LCD stands for Large Chambered Dark but I don’t consider it a really “dark” piece. It’s not as bright as the “Buzzer” or the “MCB” but it Read More…
