This is a Warburton soprano saxophone mouthpiece made by Eric Falcon. This is one of the best soprano mouthpieces I have had the pleasure of playing. It plays effortlessly and has a big fat soprano sound to it. The first day I played on it, I actually recorded a few lessons with it because I […]

Theo Wanne Gaia 6 Hard Rubber Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is another great mouthpiece by Theo Wanne. This is a Gaia 6 alto saxophone mouthpiece that came with a Macsax alto that I’m trying out (more on that later). This sax mouthpiece has a nice baffle in it as you can see from the pictures. The baffle slopes down into the chamber and is […]
Warburton Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a new Warburton alto saxophone mouthpiece. These are made by Eric Falcon who is a top notch mouthpiece refacer. This mouthpiece has an .080 tip opening. I consider it to have a brighter sound but still fat sounding. It’s a bit fatter sounding than the PT Meyer that I put up yesterday. There […]
Meyer Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced by Phil Engleman
This is a new Meyer medium chamber alto saxophone mouthpiece that is made by JJ Babbitt. If you have been an alto saxophone player for any length of time you will know the mouthpiece name “Meyer”. It is one of the most popular alto saxophone mouthpieces ever sold. When I was a kid, i remember […]
John Thomas Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Review
Here we have a John Thomas tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I actually played this about a year ago but the recording has been sitting on my computer since. I totally forgot about it until this morning when I read a thread on “Sax on the Web” asking about John Thomas and his mouthpiece work. This mouthpiece […]
Eric Falcon Custom Hard Rubber Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here is my review of a custom hard rubber tenor saxophone mouthpiece that Eric Falcon made. A friend of mine sent me this to try with 2 metal links as well. This is an example of a great hard rubber mouthpiece. I actually have played this mouthpiece for about a week now and love it […]
Otto Link Super Tone Master Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced by Eric Falcon
This is another Modern Otto Link Super Tone Master I received to try out. This one was originally a 7 tip (.100) but was refaced and oped up to a .110 by Eric Falcon. From what I understand Eric Falcon used to do mouthpiece work for Jody Espina of Jody Jazz. He now is refacing […]
Modern STM Otto Link Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced by Brian Powell
This is a modern Super Tone Master Otto Link tenor saxophone mouthpiece. Everyone knows that buying a modern metal Otto Link is pretty much a roll of the dice. I remember going to a music store and trying 10 of them and not liking any of them. Many times over the years I have stopped […]
Frank Wess & Scott Robinson Tenor Saxophone Blues Up and Down
I’ve been listening to a bunch of different versions of “Blues Up & Down” lately. I love hearing two distinct tenor saxophone players going at it. Some people like to refer to this as a “battle”. They like to talk afterwards about who “won”. To me, those type of people need to grow […]
Pete Thomas PPT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece 7* Review
This is a great mouthpiece from Pete Thomas over in the UK. I emailed him a few months ago because I was interested in trying one of his tenor mouthpieces. He was kind enough to send me this one. I’m not sure what it is made of but it looks pretty cool. It’s looks […]
“Live” Guardala Laser Trimmed Michael Brecker II Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here’s another live clip I dug out of my computer. This is a more mellow clip of a solo on the tune “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones. To be honest, I’m one for staying in the mood of the tune when I solo. I can’t stand it when I hear a slow ballad […]
“Live” Clip of a Yamaha WX-5 Harmonica Solo
I didn’t think I would ever do this but…………about once a month I get an email from someone asking if I can put up some sound clips and lessons on the Yamaha WX-5 wind controller. A Yamaha WX-5 is what is known as a wind controller. You blow air into and finger it just like […]

Here’s another live clip I dug out of my computer. I have hundreds of these and every once in awhile I’ll go through and see what I can find. This is a clip of my saxophone solo on “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye at some event in Boston. As with most of these clips […]
Drake Vintage Resin Jazz Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a new tenor saxophone mouthpiece I received in the mail last week from Aaron Drake. Drake mouthpieces have been around for a number of years and Aaron is best known for his Ceramic mouthpieces which I have reviewed here before.
