Here is another LAW tenor saxophone mouthpiece that I received from Lawrence Waldron to try. This one is in a .110 tip with a 25mm facing length. This mouthpiece plays great and has a nice thick hearty tone to it with a 3 sized reed. I found this mouthpiece could take all the air I […]

“Live” Freddie Gregory Mark IV 7** Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a live clip from a gig I did a number of years ago. I play a tenor solo using the Freddie Gregory Mark IV 7** hard rubber tenor saxophone mouthpiece I had. The mouthpiece is made of hard rubber with a medium high long baffle in it that slopes down into the chamber. […]
Battle of the 3 Florida Link Tenor Mouthpieces
I thought I would put up a comparison clip of 3 metal STM Florida Otto Link tenor mouthpieces that I have. The first one is a Florida Link 7*(no USA) that was refaced by someone. If I had to bet money on it I would say it’s Theo Wannes work. It looks just like other […]
LAW Buzzer, JVW Link, Kali Comparison
I thought I would put up a comparison clip of my 3 favorite tenor mouthpieces so we could hear the differences in their sounds. The three mouthpieces are a Theo Wanne Kali, a Jon Van Wie STM Link and a LAW Buzzer. All three mouthpieces are around a .110 tip opening. They were all done […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Saxscape NF .108 Tenor Mouthpiece
I’ve been curious about these mouthpieces for awhile now. They are made by Ken Barry in PA. His website is www.Saxscape.com I appreciate Ken Barry because not only is he a craftsman but he is a great player also. I find his website very enjoyable to visit because Ken puts up real clips of his […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Theo Wanne Amma 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the new AMMA mouthpiece being produced by Theo Wanne. A friend on SOTW generously offered to let me borrow his and try it out. When I opened the package the first thing I noticed was the quality of the mouthpiece. The tip, rails and baffle were perfect as well as the outside of […]
Theo Wanne NY Link Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a NY link that I won off ebay that was advertised as worked on by Theo Wanne. When I received this piece it was a 7*. It had a nice sound but I felt that when I pushed it hard it got too bright and harsh sounding. It has a medium baffle […]
Brian Powell Refaced NY Link 7*
This is a NY link that I won off ebay that was advertised as worked on by Theo Wanne. I put my own baffle in it. There is an earlier clip of it on here if you look with a description. I sent it off to Brian Powell and asked him to clean up […]
Early Babbitt HR Otto Link 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
Holy Cow! This piece is great. I just got four pieces back today from Brian Powell. This is the Jon Van Wie refaced link that has a clip posted of it last year. This piece always played nice but didn’t have any guts to it. I really couldn’t dig in with it. I played another […]
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 […]
