The Supernova alto saxophone mouthpiece is in Category 4.\u00a0 (I wonder if Mark, living in Florida, was influenced by hurricane season with these mouthpiece category ratings?)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here&#8217;s a description of the Supernova alto saxophone mouthpiece from the 10mFan website:<\/p>\n<p><em>Category 4: \u00a0\u201cSUPERNOVA\u201d\u2014 THE ABSOLUTE BEST ORIGINAL DESIGN HIGH BAFFLE ALTO MOUTHPIECE IN THE MARKETPLACE!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>SUPER powerful higher baffle piece with a roll over at the end, for that Pop, Funk, Sanborn, Smooth Jazz, Rock thing!!!!\u00a0 \u00a0 Boney James, Jaared, and Mikey Rivera\u2014-3 of the best in the world for this style piece, are using this model, and absolutely LOVE it!!!! \u00a0It&#8217;s got all the brights, punch, and power that the power players who want a Category 4 mouthpiece will need, but also TONS OF BODY to the sound!!! CRAZY KILLER ALTISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!-Mark Sepinuck<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 10mFan Supernova is available in 4 tip openings:<\/p>\n<p>6 &#8211; .080<br \/>\n7 &#8211; .085<br \/>\n8 &#8211; .090<br \/>\n9 &#8211; .095<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Special note:\u00a0 I tend to like alto saxophone mouthpieces with a tip opening between .076-.080 but I felt totally comfortable and at home with the Supernova alto mouthpiece at a 7 tip of .085.\u00a0 The higher baffle profile makes the larger tip opening feel more comfortable for me. If you are like me and like a similar range of tip openings on the alto sax, I would suggest going with a slightly larger tip opening for the Supernova mouthpiece as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTable1.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTable1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The 10mFan Supernova alto saxophone mouthpiece came in a well packaged box.\u00a0 Inside, amidst the packaging, the Supernova alto mouthpiece was well protected in a clear tube.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The new 10mFan Supernova alto sax mouthpiece has the traditional three rings on the shank that all of the 10mFan saxophone mouthpieces have.\u00a0 It also has &#8220;10mFan&#8221; and &#8220;Supernova&#8221; engraved on the top of the mouthpiece.\u00a0 On the bottom corners of the mouthpiece next to the table is engraved &#8220;U.S.A.&#8221; and &#8220;7&#8221;.\u00a0 All the 10mFan mouthpieces are made from the finest German bar stock hard rubber.<\/p>\n<p>The mouthpiece looks great and right up to the normal everyday 10mFan standards of excellence.\u00a0 From day one, Mark Sepinuck has been very serious about producing top of the line saxophone mouthpieces of the highest standards.\u00a0 This Supernova alto sax mouthpiece is no exception.\u00a0 The table, rails, tip and baffle area all look perfectly balanced, even and precise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SuperNovaTable2.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SuperNovaTable2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The 10mFan Supernova alto saxophone mouthpiece is without a doubt a high baffled mouthpiece as you can see in the photos.\u00a0 The high baffle extends about 7\/8&#8217;s of an inch before rolling over smoothly into a more pronounced descent towards the rear of the mouthpiece chamber.\u00a0 When I compare my 10mFan Showboat alto sax mouthpiece side by side with the 10mFan Supernova mouthpiece, the baffle of the Supernova is a little bit higher and longer than the Showboat alto mouthpiece baffle.<\/p>\n<p>I love that Mark Sepinuck designed the Supernova alto mouthpiece to have a smooth rollover at the end of the baffle.\u00a0 Many high baffle mouthpiece makers tend to leave the end of the baffle with an edge or hard line.\u00a0 My experience has been that baffles with a smooth rollover instead of an edge have a fatter and smoother tone that I usually prefer when playing a high baffled mouthpiece. Usually the baffles with an edge at the end tend to be more edgy and brittle in tone in my experience.<\/p>\n<p>The chamber of the 10mFan Supernova looks similar in size to the chamber of the 10mFan Showboat alto mouthpiece as I hold them side by side.\u00a0 When I compare the Supernova chamber to a Meyer Connoisseur alto mouthpiece I reviewed a few months ago, the Supernova chamber looks larger in size when compared to the Meyer alto mouthpiece.\u00a0 Of course, the baffle of the Supernova is traveling through the chamber at a higher angle than the Meyer baffle so that higher baffle would take up more volume of the chamber area but the overall look of the chamber is that it is larger than the Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>The side walls of the mouthpiece are straight\u00a0 on each side as they head towards the chamber and then look slightly scooped out as the chamber area begins.\u00a0 The roof of the chamber area below the table is nice and thin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaBaffle1.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaBaffle1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The 10mFan Supernova was incredibly reed friendly for me. It has a 7 tip opening which is a .085 and I assumed this larger tip opening would require softer reeds but I found that I preferred the same reed strengths on the Supernova mouthpiece as I do with other alto saxophone mouthpieces that have a smaller tip opening of .076-.080.\u00a0 I found that Rigotti Gold 3 light saxophone reeds, Boston Sax Shop 3 reeds and Roberto&#8217;s Winds 3 Soft reeds all played really well for me on the Supernova 7 alto saxophone mouthpiece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">One of the best attributes to the 10mFan line of saxophone mouthpieces are the precise facing curves used on these mouthpieces.\u00a0 Mark uses the best mouthpiece\u00a0 craftsman to fine tune every mouthpiece and make sure the facing curves are perfect.\u00a0 A perfectly balanced and even facing curve allows more reeds to play consistently and favorably and that was my experience with the Supernova alto sax mouthpiece.<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaBaffle2.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaBaffle2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As you would expect from a mouthpiece with this kind of baffle, the Supernova is a powerhouse of an alto sax mouthpiece.\u00a0 In fact, when I first attempted to record a sound clip, I turned down the gain on my microphone to what I usually set it for with Guardala type tenor mouthpieces (really powerful tenor mouthpieces) and the recording was still in the red most of the time because the mouthpiece was so powerful.\u00a0 \u00a0I had to try recording again with the gain turned down even more!<\/p>\n<p>I would say that the 10mFan Supernova is without a doubt one of the most powerful alto mouthpieces I have ever played.\u00a0 \u00a0On my alto mouthpiece volume scale of 1-10, I would rate the Supernova as going up to 13!<\/p>\n<p>A great quality to the 10mFan Supernova alto mouthpiece is that it still allows the player the ability to mold and shape the sound as they play.\u00a0 I have played other high baffled alto mouthpieces that feel like they box you into this one high baffled alto saxophone tone that is next to impossible to get away from. The Supernova alto sax mouthpiece still allows the player the freedom to fatten the tone or darken the tone if needed which I really loved.\u00a0 It also allows the player to go in the other direction of making the tone even brighter and tougher when needed which is really cool.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTable3.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTable3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The altissimo range on the 10mFan Supernova is off the charts in my opinion.\u00a0 If you are a fan of my website, you will probably know that I don&#8217;t play much altissimo on the alto saxophone. To be honest, that higher range of the alto sax altissimo notes just seems to irritate what hearing I have left in my one working ear.\u00a0 Because I don&#8217;t play much altissimo on the alto sax, I am really out of practice with voicing those notes and any attempts by me usually have less than optimal results on the alto sax. However, on the 10mFan Supernova, I found the altissimo range incredibly easy for me. The altissimo range felt as easy and effortless as it does when playing the tenor sax which I don&#8217;t think I have ever experienced on an alto sax mouthpiece before.\u00a0 I was very impressed that the Supernova design could make the alto altissimo range that easy for me to attain.\u00a0 Very impressed!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaBaffle3.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaBaffle3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The 10mFan Supernova alto sax mouthpiece has a powerful, focused tone that can be pretty bright.\u00a0 The first recording I made with it was of &#8220;Isn&#8217;t She Lovely&#8221; by Stevie Wonder.\u00a0 The Supernova really shines in a pop or smooth jazz setting in my opinion.\u00a0 It has enough brightness and punch to cut through the mix and the brightness of the tone really allows the upper range of the horn to sing and project.\u00a0 It sounds killer with a little bit of reverb added or in a big room with natural reverb in it.<\/p>\n<p>I found the facing curve and reed combination to really be advantageous as far as manipulating the tone with vibrato and bends. I was actually quite impressed with how easy I could bend notes up and down. Usually, that breaking point between the normal range of the sax and the altissimo range can be a rough transition to play through on the alto sax for me but the Supernova mouthpiece really made that transition smooth and even for me.\u00a0 A couple times in the recordings I play from the normal register into the higher altissimo and the line up is just so smooth and flowing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTip.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTip.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second sound clip is highlighting the altissimo range of the alto sax with the Supernova alto sax mouthpiece.\u00a0 You can hear many of those bends in the lines that I just wrote about in the high notes.\u00a0 I love that bend up to high altissimo C with the vibrato at the end of the sound clip.\u00a0 I added a bit of reverb to the recording because it sounds so good with that reverb added.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison to other high baffle alto saxophone mouthpieces, the Supernova seems to have a fatter and fuller tone to it in my opinion. The tone seems smoother to me and the range of the horn is very even and smooth from note to note.<\/p>\n<p>The intonation was great and very close to perfectly in tune for every note.\u00a0 This was a pleasant surprise as many high baffle alto mouthpieces can mess with the intonation on my Selmer Reference 54 alto saxophone.\u00a0 The Supernova mouthpiece played with great intonation up and down the range of the saxophone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaCham2.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaCham2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The last recording of the 10mFan Supernova alto saxophone mouthpiece is a dry recording with no effects on it at all using a warmer Boston Sax Shop reed.\u00a0 I wanted to provide a sound clip with a somewhat darker reed to show what the Supernova would sound like with my standard jazz lines with the darker reed. I think it sounds great on this last clip and I could certainly see someone being able to play some standards with the Supernova if desired.\u00a0 The Boston Sax Shop 3 alto saxophone reed is certainly a darker tone than the Rigotti Gold 3 light alto sax reed used on the other sound clips which is brighter and a bit edgier in tone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTop.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2022\/SupernovaTop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10mFan Supernova Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\">If you like the sound and look of the 10mfan Supernova hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpiece, you can order one of them from Mark Sepinuck at <a href=\"https:\/\/10mfan.com\/product\/supernova-alto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10mFan.com<\/a>.\u00a0 I have also included a few videos below of some other sax players playing the Supernova.\u00a0 I think the combination of my sound clips and these videos below will help you make a decision about the 10mFan Supernova alto sax mouthpiece.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is a great alto saxophone mouthpiece choice for those of you who play pop, smooth jazz or fusion and like that brighter, more powerful alto saxophone tone.\u00a0 The Supernova doesn&#8217;t box you into one sound or concept but has enough flexibility to it that a player can shape and mold the sound to his or her specific sound concept.\u00a0 I was a huge fan of Mark Russo and the Yellowjackets when I was a teenager and in my opinion, the Supernova alto sax mouthpiece totally nails that type of sound and altissimo register.\u00a0 I love it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\">If you have any questions about the Supernova model or any of the other 10mFan mouthpieces, you can also contact Mark Sepinuck through his <a href=\"https:\/\/10mfan.com\/home\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.
