Any Suggestions??

I've owned and used a D7 and D8 as well as a new style Brilhart Levelaire for at least 25 years (on the Dukoff D7). I recently bought a Ponzol M2 110 from Woodwind Brasswind on a trial basis. I really like it, my bandmates hear a noticable difference and like it, and most of all, my wife really likes it. It cuts through nice and loudly and doesn't sound thin on top with a nice core to the bottom. Quality control is excellent as well. He hand finishes it before it gets gold plated.. If you want even brighter, try his M2+ or a Guardala Lasertrim King or Superking from WoodwindBrasswind. They're on sale now.Dukoff is really hit or miss nowadays. I've tried some new ones that I literally couldn't produce a sound on. Those are my suggestions. Here is their website. If you order, do it by phone. http://www.wwbw.com/

Mouthpieces

Keep the suggestions coming. I appreciate the comments. I can't go back and look at the ID's of answers or comments to my original post without losing my space right here so I will try to address some of the posts that were kind enough to offer suggestions. 1. I have heard simiular things said about the hit or miss with the Dukoffs. 2. I have not found a composite mouthpiece that (even some customs I had made) had the bright sassy sound I manage to get with a metal. When switching from alto to tenor, the metal seems to find it's home faster (size difference from the alto Selmer SS80 that is a composite and I love it). I have yet to find a composite for the tenor that is identical (bore and chamber I guess) to the Selmer Super Session 80. The 3 I have all sound like the sax is played through a wet cardboard box. The Yanagisawa #7 I use with the Tenor just seems to make the Reference Pop with life and brightness, yet can sweet talk a pretty ballad with sentimental feeling soft as you please. Now your going to flip, but it is true. I can lube up the SS80 alto, slip it down on the tenor and make it walk on water, so I fret that it may be embouchure related. Thanks for the come backs. DeSax.
