  1. Soprano, Bass and Misc. mpc
    Got a metal Selmer E! Too bad my Soprano isn’t in yet. Will do mouthpiece exercises for now, but what’s the best way to clean these? Soak in Aluminum Foil + Baking Soda, or use silver polish?
  2. Soprano, Bass and Misc. mpc
    Hey everyone, I am thinking about purchasing this Dukoff soprano mouthpiece but am unable to determine if it is real or fake as I do not know much about them. The reason why I am skeptical is because it does not say “super power chamber” like I have seen on most Dukoffs online/the ones I’ve owned.
  3. Soprano, Bass and Misc. mpc
    Hear me out… So Vandoren doesn’t make a jumbo Java for soprano. But I have an idea… if you take a S35 and add a baffle into it maybe it could create a jumbo Java/Dukoff like piece for soprano. I have an S35 I’d be willing to try it on, but have no knowledge of materials or how it could be done...
  4. Soprano, Bass and Misc. mpc
    Hello, I’m considering purchasing a newer Dukoff (D8*) for soprano and am wondering if it’s possible to have it refaced so that it is essentially a clone of a Miami Dukoff. I am unaware of the exact differences between them, but hear often that many modern Dukoff do not play well. I am really...
  5. Alto mpc
    Currently using a Theo Wanne Earth II Alto 7, but think its time for my annual mp check (checked a year ago and didnt change anything) :) Want to go for at little darker sound, hence my sax repair guru recommended me to look for at low baffle ... so, any recommendations? (has to be a metal mp)
  6. Eb Alto
    I currently play on an AL3, and I am looking to upgrade. My budget is around 150-200 usd. I feel like it’s restricting my air too much. Does anyone have any suggestions??
  7. Bb Tenor
    I have a question that’s been nagging me for years. I’ve had a number of pro quality tenor saxophones over the years. Today, I have a 1954 original lacquer, super balanced action tenor, and I’ll be damned if I see the same issue on this horn, despite having several quality repair people look...
  8. Bb Soprano
    Hey, so my friend has an early 1900s(?) evette and schaffer soprano with a marking of Carl Fischer New York. Sn is 25933. The sax apparently came with a Carl Fischer soprano mouthpiece marked steel ebony. Does anyone know anything about the mouthpiece? I can't find it in any forums or anywhere...
  9. Eb Alto
    Recently I bought a new jazz mouthpiece, the Theo Wanne NY Bros 2 in a size 6 tip opening. I noticed that whenever I play with either a Vandoren ZZ 2.5 or a Boston Sax Shop 2.5 my octave D and E squeak pretty frequently. The only reeds I've found to fix this are the Nexus 2.5. Could this issue...
  10. Bb Soprano
    I'm trying out soprano and looking for a darker mouthpiece. This is just an experiment to see if I like soprano, so I don't want to spend too much. Suggestions? I'd love to pick up an HR Custom Dark, but they are so pricey... Not afraid of used.
  11. What to Buy & Why: Mouthpieces
    So I have a couple mouthpieces at the moment and they are all pretty bright. I love the bright sound but I recently have been playing my soprano, which has a super dark mouthpiece. I really want that sound for my tenor, so I want to buy the darkest possible mouthpiece for the best price. The...
  12. Mouthpiece Maintenance, Modification & Refacing
    I’ve been playing on my tenor mouthpiece for a while now with a patch. Some green stuff is forming at the tip, I presume because the moisture seeps underneath the mouth patch and stays in there. Was wondering if this is typical and people just live with it? Otherwise, how could I fix this? I...
  13. Bb Soprano
    I have yet to get a soprano, but I would like to get an idea what what mouthpiece I should get when/if I buy one. Can anyone help?
