I received this piece in a trade deal for one of my metal Florida Links. It was a hard deal to make but I did it because I was so curious about the “Focustone” mouthpieces. I’ve tried Ted Klum’s work before down at Roberto’s in NYC years ago and once when Bob Ackerman came up […]
Tenor Low Baffle Reviews
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Freddie Gregory Mark II 7* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Let me know what you think of this one. This is a Freddie Gregory Mark II 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It is made of hard rubber and looks as perfect as you will ever find. I traded my Freddie Gregory Mark II 8* tenor sax mouthpiece for this mouthpiece. I love this mouthpiece, but at […]
Lamberson J7 Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a piece I got from the famous Dr. G on SOTW. I have to say that this piece has mystical properties to it that I don’t understand. It is made by Fred Lamberson and it has the least baffle of any piece I have ever owned but has a brightness and power to […]
“Live” Lamberson J7 Tenor Mouthpiece
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 […]
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. […]
