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 […]
Tenor High Baffle Reviews
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Guardala Gold MB II Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this from WWBW about 3 weeks ago. This is not a handmade Guardala tenor mouthpiece but one of the CNC made mouthpieces by WWBW. Yes, I couldn’t resist. I’ve tried Guardala mouthpieces before and they were always too bright for me. This one isn’t. It has a nice balance to it. On the […]
“Live” Lamberson 7DD Tenor Mouthpiece
Here’s a “live” clip of my white acetal Lamberson 7DD tenor mouthpiece. This is the same piece that I play on the “Let’s Get it On” video on my website. I’ve always said that Fred Lamberson makes amazing mouthpieces. This 7DD mouthpiece is no exception. It’s on the brighter side of the spectrum but still […]
“Live” Jon Van Wie Otto Link 8
My Jon Van Wie refaced Super Tone Master Link is the tenor sax mouthpiece that I have played the most over the last 10 years. Jon Van Wie was an incredible mouthpiece refacer (sad to say that he died a number of years ago). I had the good fortune to have him work on a […]
Drake Contemporary Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a tenor mouthpiece by Aaron Drake at Drake Ceramic Mouthpieces. Aaron has been generous enough to send two tenor mouthpieces for me to try. This one is called the “Contemporary” . It has an 8 (.110) tip. These mouthpiece are very unique in that they are made of ceramic. I was a […]
