Phil Barone NY Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a Phil Barone NY model tenor mouthpiece I have for a review today. As you can see from the pictures, this mouthpiece has been heavily used by some past owners……………not the prettiest mouthpiece I’ve had on here. The gold plating is all worn off and there is some corrosion on the brass. Sometimes […]
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. […]
