Today I am reviewing another great alto saxophone mouthpiece made by Phil Engleman at Phil-Tone Mouthpieces. I have reviewed quite a few Phil-Tone saxophone mouthpieces on this site already and am always interested when Phil announces a new Phil-Tone saxophone mouthpiece model. Phil Engleman’s mouthpiece work is always top notch and he has created some phenomenal mouthpieces […]

Buyer Beware! Counterfeit Vintage Saxophone Mouthpieces Galore
Disclaimer: If you bought a vintage mouthpiece in the last few years off of Ebay then this article might not be good news for you. If you would rather not know……then do not continue to read…… A friend of mine reached out to me a few weeks ago and was excited to share the good […]
Drake Phil Woods Master Series Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Review
Today, I am reviewing a Drake Master Series Phil Woods alto saxophone mouthpiece made by Aaron Drake at Drake mouthpieces. This alto mouthpiece is advertised as “a near identical replica of the mouthpiece that Phil Woods played for over 40 years.” Don’t worry about the wording of “near identical”, this does not mean it is […]
Vintage New York Meyer USA 4M Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced By Jimmy Jensen Review
Today, I’m lucky to be able to play and review a vintage New York Meyer medium chamber alto saxophone mouthpiece. Jimmy Jensen at Tenor Madness was nice enough to send me what he called a “mouthpiece funbox”. This was a box of special and unique mouthpieces that Jimmy thought I might find interesting. Among the […]

Jon Van Wie Meyer Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a modern Meyer tenor saxophone mouthpiece that I recently bought. This one is a 7 that was refaced by the late great Jon Van Wie to a .105 tip opening. I knew that if Jon Van Wie had refaced it then it would be a great example of what a Meyer could do. […]
9 Great Alto Saxophone Mouthpieces to Compare
The most common question I get asked on this blog and in emails is “Steve, which mouthpiece is the best?” “Which one should I buy”. I probably get 3-4 emails a week asking that question. I always feel bad because I wish there was a simple answer to that. The truth is that […]
Jon Van Wie Modern Meyer 6MM Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a modern Meyer that was refaced by the late great Jon Van Wie. I had Jon work on a few tenor mouthpieces for me and his work was always great. I don’t think I ever had him work on an alto mouthpiece so this is a real treat for me to play this […]
Kanee M5 Custom Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is another hard rubber custom mouthpiece from Kanee mouthpieces in China. As I said in an earlier review, I received 7 mouthpieces from Kanee Music to try out. This model is the alto mouthpiece with the lowest baffle. It is called the M5 model for the alto saxophone. Here is what is written […]
Meyer G Alto Mouthpiece
This was a Meyer G with a 5 opening. It was way to small for my tastes. I sent it to Brian Powell to reface it and open it to a .076. It played nice before and had a lot of volume but it felt to closed for me. This was the first piece I […]
