A Design Inspired by Great "Vintage" Mouthpieces
This tenor mouthpiece follows a clearly retro approach: three chambers to choose from, each associated with an era and a sonic aesthetic. The L (large) version emphasizes roundness and an "old school" grain, ideal for recapturing playing sensations and a distinctive timbral identity.
For Which Tenor Saxophonist?
Recommended for intermediate to advanced saxophonists seeking an expressive and colorful mouthpiece. The Large chamber is particularly comfortable in jazz, swing, blues, and vintage music, while remaining relevant for pop music when aiming for a full sound.
Sound and Design
The Large chamber emphasizes a broader and warmer timbre, with a sense of "depth" and a natural presence in the low register. The Bell Metal alloy contributes to a lively response and beautiful complexity, while the 24-carat gold plating provides a refined finish and comfortable contact.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of it, pair it with tenor saxophone reeds suited to your playing style (strength and cut according to your embouchure) as well as a ligature and tenor sax mouthpiece cap compatible with your setup.
