*This is the first mouthpiece I reviewed back in 2006 when I started Neffmusic.com. This is pretty sad as far as an in-depth review goes. I had no idea what to write about or say about this mouthpiece. Who would have guessed that these clips below would turn into a 15+ year passion and hundreds […]
Freddie Gregory Mark IV 7** Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here’s a hard rubber Freddie Gregory Mark IV 7** tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I really miss this tenor sax mouthpiece. I sold it not too long after I bought it because I thought it was too bright. To be honest, there were quite a few gigs I had during that time that were amazing with this […]
Freddie Gregory Mark II 7* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Let me know what you think of this one. This is a Freddie Gregory Mark II 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It is made of hard rubber and looks as perfect as you will ever find. I traded my Freddie Gregory Mark II 8* tenor sax mouthpiece for this mouthpiece. I love this mouthpiece, but at […]
Lamberson J7 Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a piece I got from the famous Dr. G on SOTW. I have to say that this piece has mystical properties to it that I don’t understand. It is made by Fred Lamberson and it has the least baffle of any piece I have ever owned but has a brightness and power to […]
Florida/Early Babbitt HR Link 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a piece I bought about 4 years ago. I got caught up in the whole “slant” hard rubber link thing and I emailed a guy who had a slant. He had just sold it but said he had this piece that was as good or better than any slant he had ever played. […]
Guardala Gold MB II Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this from WWBW about 3 weeks ago. This is not a handmade Guardala tenor mouthpiece but one of the CNC made mouthpieces by WWBW. Yes, I couldn’t resist. I’ve tried Guardala mouthpieces before and they were always too bright for me. This one isn’t. It has a nice balance to it. On the […]
“Live” Lamberson 7DD Tenor Mouthpiece
Here’s a “live” clip of my white acetal Lamberson 7DD tenor mouthpiece. This is the same piece that I play on the “Let’s Get it On” video on my website. I’ve always said that Fred Lamberson makes amazing mouthpieces. This 7DD mouthpiece is no exception. It’s on the brighter side of the spectrum but still […]
“Live” Jon Van Wie Otto Link 8
My Jon Van Wie refaced Super Tone Master Link is the tenor sax mouthpiece that I have played the most over the last 10 years. Jon Van Wie was an incredible mouthpiece refacer (sad to say that he died a number of years ago). I had the good fortune to have him work on a […]
“Live” Lamberson J7 Tenor Mouthpiece
This is an old clip i just found on my computer. It’s one of those loud dance sets and the singer is making noise through most of the solo but you can get an idea of how the Lamberson J7 sounds through a mic in this type of setting. The cool thing about this clip […]
Greg Wier GW 7M Alto Mouthpiece
This is a great alto mouthpiece that I bought from Greg Wier. I’ve seen all of his mouthpieces on ebay for quite some time now and have wondered how they are. I trialed one of his tenor mouthpieces awhile ago and was very impressed with it. This alto mouthpiece is terrific also. It’s got that […]
Phil-Tone Aurora .078 Alto Mouthpiece
I received my Phil-Tone Aurora alto mouthpiece from Philip Engleman. Phil is known as Sigmund451 on SOTW (that’s Sax on the Web). I was impressed with the mouthpiece just like I was with his tenor piece. I just slapped a reed on it and it played great. It has some nice volume to it and […]
Early Babbit Alto Mouthpiece 7
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 […]
Vandoren V16 A5M Alto Mouthpiece
This is a Vandoren V16 A5M that I bought from Dave Valdez in Portland. Dave had Brian Powell reface the mouthpiece to a .080 and put a very long facing curve on it (23mm) that matched a Slant Link that has been Dave’s main piece forever. The reason I bought this piece was because I […]
Hard Rubber Berg Larsen Alto Mouthpiece
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 […]
