Today, I am reviewing a new Marmaduke large chambered tenor saxophone mouthpiece that is made by Alex Miyatake in Japan.\u00a0 This tenor mouthpiece\u00a0 has a larger chamber than the first Marmaduke mouthpiece I reviewed here<\/a>.\u00a0 If you click on this link you can compare the clips to see how these two mouthpieces sound.\u00a0 They were both recorded the same.<\/p>\n

Marmaduke Large Chamber Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Marmaduke LC (Large Chamber) tenor saxophone mouthpiece looks great.\u00a0 The tip and rails are thin and even. The tip matches the shape of my Vandoren reeds perfectly.\u00a0 The mouthpiece has a slight rollover baffle. <\/em>The chamber\u00a0 looks to be similar in size to a hard rubber Otto Link size chamber.

The 7* (.105 tip opening) had a very rich complex sound to my ears.\u00a0 In comparison to the normal Marmaduke mouthpiece in the review above,\u00a0 I feel that this mouthpiece is a bit darker and richer in tone.\u00a0 I played a Vandoren Java 2 1\/2 reed on it and that reed was perfect for it. The intonation was normal and the response was clean and immediate.\u00a0 The low end had a smokey round quality to the tone.\u00a0 I had a lot of fun sub-toning on this mouthpiece.\u00a0 I loved the rich low end.<\/p>\n

Many times, with a large chambered piece you will gain a darker richer tone but lose a bit of volume and brightness from other mouthpieces that have a smaller chamber and\/or higher baffle.\u00a0 This mouthpiece had a nice full tone and volume\u00a0 even with the larger chamber.\u00a0 I don’t think I would choose it for a loud rock gig because of the darker tone but this would be a great mouthpiece to go out and play a burning jazz set with.<\/p>\n
