This is the “Doc” Tenney Jazzmaster 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. A friend of mine on the internet was kind enough to send it to me so I could put a clip up of it. Mr. Tenney has quite the reputation for his mouthpiece work. I’ve had a few students that have played his pieces over […]

Aizen LS Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is the new Aizen LS 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I have one of these for my alto saxophone that I love and am lucky enough to be able to try this tenor sax model. I’ve had it for 2 weeks and played it almost everyday. These are advertised as being copies of a vintage […]
New “Vintage” Slant Otto Link Tenor Mouthpiece
This a “New” “Vintage” “Slant” Otto Link hard rubber tenor mouthpiece. There has been a lot of buzz about these lately. Babbitt has come out with these as a model that is comparable to the vintage slant signature hard rubber links everyone is paying big bucks for on ebay. Now I have to say, that […]
60’s Brilhart Personaline Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is another great example of a Vintage Brilhart tenor mouthpiece. This one was refaced to .105 by Brian Powell and then Eric Drake fine tuned it to meet the needs of the person that owns it. This is a great playing tenor mouthpiece. It has a great character to the sound that I really […]
60’s Brilhart Personaline Tenor Mouthpiece
A friend of mine from noticed I had no sound clips of vintage Brilhart hard rubber mouthpieces. I had to admit to him that I’ve never played a vintage Brilhart. I could tell he felt extreme sorrow for my situation and was genorous enough to send me 3 great ones from his collection to try. […]
Peter Ponzol “Vintage” SS Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this in the mail today along with the Ponzol M2. This is a Stainless Steel mouthpiece made by Peter Ponzol called the “Vintage” model. It is at a .105 tip opening. It does play with a darker sound than other Ponzol tenor mouthpieces I have played. Very even from top to […]
Refaced Modern Otto Link STM Tenor Mouthpiece
I picked this modern Otto Link STM up on Ebay……..it’s a .108 tip that was refaced by Brian Powell. I have loved everything I’ve played that Brian Powell has worked on and I was curious to see what he could do to a modern otto link. To be honest, I’ve played about 20 modern Otto […]
Phil-Tone Otto Link Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this from Phil as part of a trial that he is doing to promote his mouthpieces. This is a modern hard rubber Otto Link that Phil Engleman has refaced and made much improved. The mouthpiece plays great compared to other modern Otto Links that I have played. Many of the modern ones […]
Theo Wanne Metal Parvati 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this in the same trial package as the wood Parvati tenor mouthpiece. This is a metal Parvati tenor mouthpiece with a 7* tip opening. It was hard for me to figure out which one I like better….the wood or the metal. Can you tell a difference from listening to the clips? Both mouthpieces […]
Theo Wanne Wood Parvati Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this for a trial that is going around of Theo Wanne’s Parvati mouthpieces. I have to say that I am very impressed with a mouthpiece craftsman that will stand by his product and have enough confidence in it to ship it on trial around the globe to possibly hundreds of people. That takes […]
60’s Brilhart Personaline HR 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
Here’s another Brilhart Personaline tenor mouthpiece. This one appears to be older and the writing is a bit different on it. The baffle is different also. It has more of a scoop in it. The other two Brilhart Personaline mouthpieces slanted straight down at an even slope into the chamber. This Personaline has a […]
Ted Klum Focustone Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this piece in a trade deal for one of my metal Florida Links. It was a hard deal to make but I did it because I was so curious about the “Focustone” mouthpieces. I’ve tried Ted Klum’s work before down at Roberto’s in NYC years ago and once when Bob Ackerman came up […]
Greg Wier GW Slant 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this on trial from another SOTW member. There was a thread on it that has since been closed where there was quite a bit of disagreement about this mouthpiece. I was intrigued and curious so when I saw one for sale I asked if I could try it. I have to say that […]
Great Theo Wanne Florida Link Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a florida link from the 60’s. It was originally an 8 but was worked on by Theo Wanne who closed it down to .100. I’m really loving it. I bought this from Mark Sepinuck(10mfan). He posted on SOTW that he had a Florida Link that was by far the best Florida Link […]
Peter Ponzol ML Tenor Mouthpiece
About 7 years ago I had a Peter Ponzol ML .110 tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It was my favorite mouthpiece at the time. Big fat sound but when I pushed it it had loads of power. There was only one problem…..I could never find good reeds for it. It would always fail the suction test and […]
Ralph Morgan 9M Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a Ralph Morgan tenor saxophone mouthpiece that I won off ebay. These are the best tenor mouthpieces for the price out there. I’ve owned 3 of Mr. Morgans mouthpieces as well as 3 of his clarinet mouthpieces. Very consistent work. You know when you order a Morgan that you won’t get a dud. […]
SP Otto Link Tenor Mouthpiece
This is another SP otto link that Brian Powell refaced and brought the beak down on. I love these mouthpieces. They are not too dark, not too bright but can really blow when you lay into them. This is a .110 and is a little darker than the .107 Otto Link I had. I saw […]
Hard Rubber Otto Link 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
This mouthpiece is the best hard rubber link I’ve ever played. I won it off Ebay for 200.00 bucks. That was the opening bid and no one else bid on it. It’s a little confusing because the seller said it was a John Reilly reface but when I received the piece it had engraving on […]
“Vintage” Selmer Soloist D Tenor Mouthpiece
I’ve always loved Rich Perry’s sound on tenor and always wanted to try a “Vintage” Selmer Soloist. I had this Selmer soloist refaced to a .105 by Brian Powell. It plays great. It’s very different than a link type mouthpiece. It’s hard to explain, it has more of a focus and core to the sound. […]
Freddie Gregory Metal Mark II 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a Freddie Gregory Mark II 7* metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece. This is the first metal Freddie Gregory I have played. I paid big bucks for it. It is similar to my hard rubber Freddie Gregory Mark II but it is metal. Like all of Freddie Gregory’s mouthpieces, it plays effortlessly. It seems a […]
