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 […]
Lamberson 7DD Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the 7DD model that Fred Lamberson makes out of white acetal. It has a long high baffle like the Guardalas I have played. This is my brightest tenor mouthpiece at the moment. It is very focused and penetrating, cuts right through the mix. This is the tenor mouthpiece I play on the […]
Phil Barone New York 7* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece-First Review
*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 […]
