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 […]
“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. […]
Jon Van Wie STM Link 8 Tenor Mouthpiece
I won this mouthpiece on ebay a few weeks ago. The seller had it listed as a link that Phil Barone had worked on but Phil contacted him and said it wasn’t his work. I bid on it because it looked a lot like other Jon Van Wie links I’ve owned in the past. It […]
Morgan 8M Tenor Mouthpiece
Happy New Year! This is a Morgan piece that I won off ebay. These are the best mouthpieces for the price out there. I’ve owned 3 of these 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. […]
LAW Rollover 8B Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of four rollover baffle pieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. These are all pieces with smooth rollover baffles similar to metal links (but prettier). They are different than the first high baffled piece that I recieved from Lawrie that is more like a Guardala Brecker baffle in that the baffles are a […]
LAW Rollover 7*D Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of four rollover baffle pieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. He is in the UK and makes LAW saxophone mouthpieces. This one has a baffle in-between the IV and II model that I have also posted clips for.
LAW Rollover 7* IV Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of 4 rollover baffle mouthpieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. This has the highest and longest baffle of the four. I think the chamber is smaller because the baffle runs through it. This sounds the brightest to me of the four.
LAW Rollover 7* II Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of 4 rollover baffle pieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. This is a LAW 7* II. This one has the lowest baffle of the four I believe. Darker sound. Very pretty. Doesn’t have the cut or projection of the 8B but has a nice dark sound.
Theo Wanne NY Link .110 Tenor Mouthpiece
I bought a Theo Wanne Link mouthpiece off ebay. When I received it in the mail , it was way too bright for me. It had that Brecker type baffle in it that made it super bright. I took a screw driver and with a little pressure popped the baffle out (It’s a NY link […]
LAW “Buzzer” Tenor Mouthpiece
Some of the other threads on cosmetic flaws have prompted me to post this story. A couple of weeks ago I got a phone call from a guy in England. He saw my website with all the sax mouthpiece clips. Anyways, his name is Lawrence Waldron and he seems to be a pretty big name […]
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 […]
RPC 115B Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the legendary Ron Cohelo 115B hard rubber mouthpiece. I have read so many reviews from people loving this mouthpiece that I felt like I had to try one. This piece is great. It has a pretty high baffle but because of the .115 tip opening it still has a solid core to the […]
