I decided to run a poll of 10 alto saxophone mouthpieces that I have on my shelf. 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 10 clips I’m just playing a simple slow […]

Sugal Super Gonz Copper Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a very cherished mouthpiece for me. It was made by Gary Sugal in the early 90’s and is called the Super Gonz I. To give you a little background on this mouthpiece…………I started playing tenor around 1986. At that time, I was playing a Couf Superba 1 tenor with the only mouthpiece 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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
Morgan ML 8* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This a Morgan ML tenor mouthpiece. I received this from a friend of mine who loves it. These use to be made by Ralph Morgan but now are made by Brian Powell and Eric Greiffenhagen. They both used to work with Ralph Morgan. These two guys have done a great job at keeping […]
Lawton 9BB JVW Refaced Tenor Mouthpiece Review
This a Lawton 9BB tenor saxophone mouthpiece that was refaced by JVW (Jon Van Wie). If you have never heard of Jon Van Wie, he was a great mouthpiece refacer that passed away some years ago. I had him do some work on some mouthpieces for me when I first started getting into this mouthpiece […]
60’s Brilhart Personaline Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is another great example of a Vintage Brilhart tenor mouthpiece. This one was refaced to .105 by Brian Powell and then Eric Drake fine tuned it to meet the needs of the person that owns it. This is a great playing tenor mouthpiece. It has a great character to the sound that I really […]
Theo Wanne Wood Parvati Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this for a trial that is going around of Theo Wanne’s Parvati mouthpieces. I have to say that I am very impressed with a mouthpiece craftsman that will stand by his product and have enough confidence in it to ship it on trial around the globe to possibly hundreds of people. That takes […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
