MY 10MFAN MOUTHPIECE LINE IS CELEBRATING IT'S 6th YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
​

For the entire month of July, I am offering all of my new GENERATION ll 10MFAN mouthpieces for my special ANNIVERSARY sale price.

*** The sale starts everywhere on the Internet on July 1, but here at SOTW, I will start the sale TODAY.

Get your orders in early, as I plan on moving 100+ pieces for this sale, so things will get very busy. ***

Its hard to believe that I started this Company 6 years ago, and amazing to see the success these mouthpieces have had worldwide for 6 years. Business continues to grow and just get better and better. I am so incredibly grateful for that!

You can order any of my hard rubber alto or tenor mouthpieces for the special sale price of only $350 each.

I use USPS priority mail for all of my shipping needs. The sale has to begin sometime, and that time is today. If you have bought a mouthpiece from me recently, I thank you for your understanding.

These are made from the finest German bar stock hard rubber, and they are hand finished one at a time by my NEW mouthpiece craftsman, who is absolutely world-class. These are all original designs, so if you're tired of getting the same vintage copy pieces from every mouthpiece maker out there, come and see what my ORIGINAL designs are all about.

We are no longer making the side rails or tip rails super thin like Eric had them, because that will cause a little buzz in the sound and people have requested that they want the pieces to sound smoother and very even top to bottom--so that's what we've done!!!!
My new craftsman is also doing extensive hand work to make sure the pieces play at their optimum level. The facing curves were too long for some players before, so we have adjusted that also so that every piece has a more traditional curve now, allowing even more players to be able to enjoy these pieces more than ever!

The newly updated pieces are absolutely incredible. STELLAR. I have listened to all the great feedback, and that has truly paid off. Thank you for that.

I have a bunch of Robusto, Classic, and Showtime model pieces in stock in preparation for this sale, and many of the other models are being made as we speak.



Thank you all for the great support and phenomenal feedback!!!

Come July 1, you will be able to order directly off the website with a special Anniversary Sale Coupon code. If you want to get on the list before all those other people have the opportunity, just contact me at my email at the bottom of the page.

Thank you for a great first day of orders for this sale.
Also, thank you very much from the people who ordered, to say the nice things you said in the emails. I really appreciate all the support, and I’m happy as always to offer a sale to help people get into these pieces.

This Anniversary Sale in particular is incredibly special for me, because it commemorates an enormous amount of hard work and effort in producing a line of completely original mouthpiece designs, that are validated every day with their worldwide success. I am very proud of this.

These updated versions have transformed the pieces, and they are absolutely dynamite.
I’m so excited for these updated versions to get around.

They are as perfect sounding as can be, to me.

Can't believe its been 6 years Mark - I appreciate the celebration of what the mpcs have brought to so many including me. And $350??? sorely tempting dude...

I do have a question for you though. I've been thinking about replacing my older HR Merlot which I foolishly traded away. How does the new version HR Merlot and Classic compare to the older one? Still loving my metal ones BTW...

Hi bro!
I know, it’s hard to believe it’s been 6 full years. Time does fly!!!
I know you are loving the mouthpieces you got for me, and that means the world to me!
We are going to get rid of the Merlot model and update a new warm category model from all the great feedback I have received about the Merlot.
A lot of players loved it, but others found it too dark. I may have gone a little too far with the warmth and the gentleness. It’s all a learning experience to try to make MORE people happy. I enjoyed the Merlot very much but it was a little dark for most people. One thing that has been said through feedback, is that players want more compression to the sound from where it’s at, and they want to be able to push it and feel like it’s getting louder but not brighter. We have been working on this and we’re going to change the design to accommodate what more players have been asking for.... while keeping it an all original design.
I’m hoping that new model will be out in the next three months. I’ve been getting the Proto types in and making adjustments, so it won’t be long.

The most important thing I’ve learned over these past six years, is that even though I loved the three initial models I put out, players all over the world have given their feedback, and it’s always crucial to listen and adapt to what players want in original design mouthpieces.
If I was just putting out copies of vintage pieces like everyone else, there wouldn’t be much to think about or work on because you are just making a copy of something that already exists. It’s a whole different world when you’re making completely original designs.

As for the models, the Black Widow has proven to be a way better fit than the Boss hard rubber was, ( because of the great feedback), and this new warm model will be better than the Merlot was.

Right now I am 100% pleased with the four tenor pieces I have out (THE CLASSIC, ROBUSTO, SHOWTIME, and BLACK WIDOW). These pieces will always stay and be my core tenor pieces. They are ALL excellent and have earned their permanent spot in my tenor lineup.
This new warm model will be the perfect fit for the rest of the group.

Holy crap its been 6 years already...crazy. Your mouthpieces cured me of GAS and I haven't played anything close to them, and you remember all the vintage and modern pieces i have bought from you over the past two decades, some of them great...but none like the Robusto and Showtime. Those are my go-to pieces for my playing style. The Classic is insanely good too..that was the top reviewed mouthpiece of 2018 somewhere? I forget. And the Black Widow IMO is the most versatile mouthpiece on the planet.

I appreciate how obsessive and neurotic you are about making them perfect. What's the old adage? There are imitators and then there are innovators. Its proven to be a great recipe. Kudos! Thank you for saving me thousands on the mouthpiece merry go round. So glad to just enjoy playing instead of worrying about mouthpieces.

If you keep bragging on those small tip openings though, I might have to warm up the bank account to check one out!

Just dusted off my metal Boss today. Haven't played it for about a year. What a great piece, thick and powerful. I rotate between the Black widow, Robusto and Boss.

 

[10mfan]

Saxaholic,
That was very nice of you!
I really appreciate all your support. I’ll never forget the phone call we had after you got to try my mouthpieces, to write the first review on them. Your reaction over the phone was one of the coolest moments in my life. Your review was so great and I think the most meaningful part of that, is that you have been on the pieces since day one and have never turned back.
So, for the six years that I’ve been on my pieces, you’ve been on them the same time.

The nicest part of everything, is of course the friendship that we have formed and that’s certainly the most meaningful. I really have appreciated all your support over the years and I know you are just as passionate about the pieces as I am.
I really appreciate you coming on and saying something.


I’m happy to send you a smaller tip opening to check out. No problem at all. Just let me know which model.

Thank you to everyone here for the great support these first six years!

Just dusted off my metal Boss today. Haven't played it for about a year. What a great piece, thick and powerful. I rotate between the Black widow, Robusto and Boss.

I'm so glad to hear that. The Boss metal I went a little bright on and I regret having those super thin side rails and tip rails. Now that we have changed that, everything my new guy has done is playing better than ever. It's a big deal for me, along with the facing curve changes.
I can't wait to put out my metals again with updated designs because they will all be better. I'm very excited because I haven't had The Classic or Showtime or Black Widow in metal before. The Robusto metal will be adjusted so we will be far better than the last that I put out. It's all about fine-tuning and making the original designs even better. I'm very excited about everything that's going on right now.

I will also have a hard rubber soprano piece out before the winter. It'll be nice to have an original design soprano piece out there that's not a copy of a soloist or a slant!

Really glad you are loving your pieces after all these years. That's one of the best rewards for me, is that guys who bought my pieces years ago still play them and enjoy them as much as ever.

Hi Mark, what's the timeframe on the new metals? Do you know when they'll be available? Looking forward to trying a Black Widow ...

 

[10mfan]

Hi,
Hope you are well! The BW metal is with the refacer now and I should have it back here to check out in about 10 days. I’m hoping everything will be good and then we can get going on it.

It’s always timely to get everything just right. My fingers are crossed that everything will be good to go.
I will definitely update when it’s ready.

 

[10mfan]

Thank you for all the sales so far.

In 2 days, the rest of the Internet will get in on this sale, so take advantage of being able to place your orders before everyone else. I’ve given everyone here a head start.

A couple of updates:
—We have just finished the adjustments to the bodies of the alto pieces so that more ligatures will fit them perfectly.
I appreciate the feedback about that.
— The Black Widow model will be the last one that we get to with this sale. My engineer is updating all of the technical stuff on the computer for that model now, and my new craftsman will have those to start on in about two weeks.

 

[HonkBopSax]

Happy anniversary Mark! I think back 18 years to hanging with you at Mars Music and you coming in to check out pieces and find synthetic reeds. You were right then -- all the modern stuff we carried was garbage, and you told me you were going to make a mouthpiece some day to blow them all away. Mission accomplished! I'm excited to hear more about the new metals. I've been on one or another of your pieces since day one, and am very much looking forward to the 2nd gen pieces. Are you going to do a Classic in metal?! I might need to check one of those out!

 

[10mfan]

Hi bro! Thank you so much. Yes, I’m going to put out all of my models in metal. I’m very excited about this. I really appreciate all your kind words and your friendship! So glad you have been digging that Black Widow so much!

 

[10mfan]

[10mfan]

Thanks for another phenomenal day of orders.

I’ve been made aware that the seven star tip opening options for the tenor pieces are not showing up today. I will contact my webmaster and have that fixed right away.

I’m off to bed now but just wanted to say thank you again.




All the best, Mark

 

[10mfan]

I may be looking for a new craftsman once this sale is over. LOL
I warned him that I get hit hard at my sales.
We are getting pounded with orders after I made the announcement on Facebook, so if you are thinking of getting a piece, just get on the list.
I have a bunch of Robusto and Showtimes coming in later next week.


Hope you all have a happy Fourth of July with your families tomorrow!

 

[10mfan]

Just a heads up that my webmaster fixed the seven star tip opening option on the website. Sorry to have panicked a few of you who thought maybe you couldn’t get a seven star.

Everything is all fixed.

Keep the orders coming and happy holidays to all

 

[10mfan]

WEEK 1 IS DONE. YOU HAVE 3 MORE WEEKS.


I didn’t expect to pass the total for my initial week of sales from six years ago, but we have, so I just want to say THANK YOU again, and keep the orders coming.

I want to get as many people into these great mouthpiece designs as possible.

Thank you.


I am determined to put out the finest original design mouthpieces I can in the marketplace, and I hope all of you get a chance to play them. This is a great opportunity for everybody.
