I received this in the same trial package as the wood Parvati tenor mouthpiece. This is a metal Parvati tenor mouthpiece with a 7* tip opening. It was hard for me to figure out which one I like better….the wood or the metal. Can you tell a difference from listening to the clips? Both mouthpieces […]

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 […]
Dave Jary HR Metal “Killer” Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this from a friend of mine to try. It is one of Dave Jary’s hard rubber pieces. He calls them “Metal Killers”. I assume because although they are hard rubber they have tons of power. Dave Jary sent me an email describing his business to me. Here’s part of what he wrote: “I […]
60’s Brilhart Personaline HR 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
Here’s another Brilhart Personaline tenor mouthpiece. This one appears to be older and the writing is a bit different on it. The baffle is different also. It has more of a scoop in it. The other two Brilhart Personaline mouthpieces slanted straight down at an even slope into the chamber. This Personaline has a […]
Metal Freddie Gregory Mark IV 8 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
I received this tenor sax mouthpiece in a trade deal for one of my other mouthpieces. This is a metal Freddie Gregory Mark IV size 8 tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It has the ridges on the outside and a high rollover baffle in it. I have to say I am surprised that this tenor saxophone mouthpiece […]
Ted Klum Focustone Tenor Mouthpiece
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 […]
Peter Ponzol SS M2 Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a Peter Ponzol M2 tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It is Stainless Steel and has a .110 tip opening. I have owned 3 M2 pieces before and was thinking this would be just like them. I was actually surprised at how dark this mouthpiece played. It had tons of power and a husky, robust […]
LAW Buzzer .110 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here is another LAW tenor saxophone mouthpiece that I received from Lawrence Waldron to try. This one is in a .110 tip with a 25mm facing length. This mouthpiece plays great and has a nice thick hearty tone to it with a 3 sized reed. I found this mouthpiece could take all the air I […]
LAW Buzzer, JVW Link, Kali Comparison
I thought I would put up a comparison clip of my 3 favorite tenor mouthpieces so we could hear the differences in their sounds. The three mouthpieces are a Theo Wanne Kali, a Jon Van Wie STM Link and a LAW Buzzer. All three mouthpieces are around a .110 tip opening. They were all done […]
Dave Jary Customized Otto Link Tenor Mouthpiece
I received this from a friend of mine to try. It is an old metal link that Phil Barone worked on at one time. It has the Barone engraving on it and the link ridge is gone as Phil does when he refaces a link. You can’t tell it use to be a link except […]
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 […]
Berg Larsen 120/1 SMS Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the first Berg Larsen I have ever played. It’s one of the stainless steel ones. A friend of mine said he found this and it was a good mouthpiece so I scooped it up. Although it has a high baffle it isn’t that bright sounding but has a big full loud sound. I […]
Phil-Tone Tenor Mouthpiece
I received my Phil-Tone tenor saxophone mouthpiece from Philip Engleman. Phil is known as Sigmund451 on SOTW. (Sax on the Web) I opened the package and put the reed I had been playing on my hard rubber Otto Link on it and it played great right from the start. I was very impressed with […]
