This is an old clip i just found on my computer. It’s one of those loud dance sets and the singer is making noise through most of the solo but you can get an idea of how the Lamberson J7 sounds through a mic in this type of setting. The cool thing about this clip […]
Tenor Mouthpiece Reviews

Theo Wanne Gaia 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a new Theo Wanne mouthpiece called the Gaia. He advertises this on http://www.theowanne.com/ as being close to a Florida Link type of sound. I have to say that out of the Theo Wanne pieces I have played so far this is my favorite. The higher baffle Wanne mouthpieces were too bright for what […]
Morgan Fry Floridated Link
This is a mouthpiece that Morgan Fry sent me from the UK. He’s been advertising a Floridated link on his site www.morganfrymouthpieces.com. I was curious about how they played so I sent him an email to see if i could try one. In looks it is very similar to my very good Florida Link that […]
Vandoren V16 Hard Rubber T6
This is a Vandoren tenor sax mouthpiece I picked up in a local music store for a student of mine. I tried a Vandoren T7 and this Vandoren T6 and I liked this T6 quite a bit more on my tenor. It has a long roll over baffle that continues right down into the chamber. […]
LAW Medium Chamber Bright (MCB) .110
This is another LAW mouthpiece by Lawrence Waldron in the UK. It was in the same package as the LCD(Large Chamber Dark) piece. This piece is a MCB(Medium Chamber Bright) piece. It has a roll over baffle that slopes more gradually into the chamber than the LCD piece. This gives it a bit more power […]

Sugal Super Gonz I 7*
Sugal Super Gonz 7* Here is a Sugal Super Gonz I tenor mouthpiece that I bought off a friend of mine. This is from the mid 90’s and started out as a 8*. I had Brian Powell bring it down to a 7* and clean up the facing quite a bit. I played a Super […]
LAW LCD (Large Chamber Dark) .110
This is another LAW piece from Lawrence Waldron. Every once in awhile he sends me a package in the mail with some pieces to try. These are as great as usual. This one is a LCD(Large Chamber Dark) and has a .110 tip opening. I really liked the sound of this piece. I actually didn’t […]
No USA Florida Link
No USA Florida Link .105 This is a Florida Link I bought off ebay awhile ago. I bought it because it was refaced and the seller didn’t know who had done it. When I saw the pictures I was pretty confident that it was Theo Wanne’s work. I can’t be 100% certain but I’ve had […]
Freddie Gregory Mark II 8* Hard Rubber Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a clip of one of my favorite tenor saxophone mouthpieces that I really regret selling. It was made by Freddie Gregory over in Spain, and is a hard rubber Mark II model tenor saxophone mouthpiece. This mouthpiece had one of the biggest sounds of any tenor saxophone mouthpiece I have ever played. It […]
Saxscape Hudson Model .113
Saxscape Hudson Model Refaced by Brian Powell to .113 I received this piece from a friend who wanted me to try it out. It was made by Ken Barry at Saxscape mouthpieces. The person who owned it before me had Brian Powell reface it (I’m not sure why) It has berg like baffle in it […]
Poll of 9 Tenor Mouthpieces
I decided to run a poll for 9 sound clips I just made of my last 9 tenor mouthpieces. I’m having a heck of a time deciding which ones to sell and I figured it would help me to play them side by side and record them. On all 9 clips I’m just playing a […]
