Here’s another Theo Wanne tenor saxophone mouthpiece for you to check out. I just received a ton of these and I’m working my way through them as you might have noticed. This is a wood version of the Gaia tenor saxophone mouthpiece. The Gaia is said to be a run at the florida link […]

Barone Hollywood Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here is a fairly new Phil Barone tenor saxophone mouthpiece. This is the “Hollywood” model and is an 8 (.110) tip opening. I believe this is a 2009 model although there is no date on it ( his older mouthpieces had dates engraved on the side of them). I have owned 5-6 Barone mouthpieces over […]
Ponzol M1 Gold Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a Peter Ponzol M1 that I purchased just for the heck of it. I have tried a bunch of M2’s but never a M1( Maybe in a store once) This is a really nice piece. It a bit brighter than the Ponzol ML tenor mouthpiece I played before but a bit darker than […]
Lawton 9BB JVW Refaced Tenor Mouthpiece Review
This a Lawton 9BB tenor saxophone mouthpiece that was refaced by JVW (Jon Van Wie). If you have never heard of Jon Van Wie, he was a great mouthpiece refacer that passed away some years ago. I had him do some work on some mouthpieces for me when I first started getting into this mouthpiece […]
Lawton 8* BB Special Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This a Lawton 8*BB Special tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I’ve never tried a Lawton before so I was looking forward to playing this one. This a special one that Geoff Lawton made without the typical sliding ligature track he usually puts on his mouthpieces. This is a great playing mouthpiece. The 8* tip is a bit above […]
Greg Wier Indian Rubber 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
This another tenor mouthpiece made by Greg Wier. I asked Greg to make me a hard rubber tenor mouthpiece with a little more power than his slant piece I had played before. He said that he had a few blanks of “Indian Rubber” (I have no idea what that means, but it sounds good) He […]
Berg Larsen 110/2 Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a Berg Larsen hard rubber tenor mouthpiece I recently won on ebay. I saw that it was refaced by Brian Powell and I knew it had to be good. Sure enough it plays great. I thought it would be really bright but it has a big thick core to it that is nice. […]
Dave Jary HR Metal “Killer” Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this from a friend of mine to try. It is one of Dave Jary’s hard rubber pieces. He calls them “Metal Killers”. I assume because although they are hard rubber they have tons of power. Dave Jary sent me an email describing his business to me. Here’s part of what he wrote: “I […]
Metal Freddie Gregory Mark IV 8 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
I received this tenor sax mouthpiece in a trade deal for one of my other mouthpieces. This is a metal Freddie Gregory Mark IV size 8 tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It has the ridges on the outside and a high rollover baffle in it. I have to say I am surprised that this tenor saxophone mouthpiece […]
Dave Jary Customized Otto Link Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this from a friend of mine to try. It is an old metal link that Phil Barone worked on at one time. It has the Barone engraving on it and the link ridge is gone as Phil does when he refaces a link. You can’t tell it use to be a link except […]
Berg Larsen 120/1 SMS Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the first Berg Larsen I have ever played. It’s one of the stainless steel ones. A friend of mine said he found this and it was a good mouthpiece so I scooped it up. Although it has a high baffle it isn’t that bright sounding but has a big full loud sound. I […]
Phil-Tone Tenor Mouthpiece
I received my Phil-Tone tenor saxophone mouthpiece from Philip Engleman. Phil is known as Sigmund451 on SOTW. (Sax on the Web) I opened the package and put the reed I had been playing on my hard rubber Otto Link on it and it played great right from the start. I was very impressed with […]
Early Babbitt Otto Link .110 Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the Early Babbitt Otto Link I have posted about before. The last SP otto link I got that Brian Powell had worked on was a .110 and I loved it. I t just felt like the tip opening was where I felt the most comfortable. I sent this Early Babbitt Otto Link (.105) […]
Mouthpiece Cafe Bergonzi Slant Tenor Mouthpiece
Everything I’ve played of Brian Powell’s I’ve loved and this is no exception. This is his new Bergonzi Slant model. The Bergonzi Slant by Mouthpiece Cafe plays effortlessly and has a beautiful tone to it. I’ve never played a great slant but I’ve been told my Early Babbitt HR link plays like one. I […]
