Strange soundtrack for a sax mpc commercial.

Haha, somebody needs to tell him how filament is correctly spelled, but there is some good info in that clip: "3D-printed pieces will have sliglly different texture than computer renderings" . I hope, playing those coppertones won't hurt as much as watching the infomercial. But maybe they are good pieces? Time will tell! And just as with postage stamps, the misprints may become very valuable - 100 years from now!

Sugal mouthpieces are for folks who don't know how to google...

Yeah right... I see them in quantities here everyday. Just like on any other forum. What's your point?

Found this! Dave Guardala sued both Gary Sugal and Phillip Barone for copyright infringement. Did he win the case? I was unaware up until now.
There are some claims of irregularity on his earlier 90's pieces. Bunch of mixed reviews all in all here, on Saxophone.org, www.neffmusic.com. But Steve who's opinion is highly regarded here seems nostalgic about his Super Gonz I :

I will chat with a friend of mine residing in Chattanooga about his Sugal he owned since 90s. He acquired good collection of tenor pieces including OttoLinks old and modern production, Piter Ponzol etc. Zagar that I used to play before my acquisition of Lawton I also got from him. And he was raving about it so I know I would trust his judgement. That is if he did not sell his already.

Gary can eat dirt. I tried to spend money with him and he instead called me a looky loo raised the price and then never emailed me back. He is a **** as far as I'm concerned. Passionate enough now!

I visited his shop in 1993 and bought a tenor and soprano mouthpiece. The soprano was a prototype with a longer window (normal length for most mouthpieces, his were too short IMHO). It was a very good mouthpiece after I had Frank Wells reface it. I no longer have it as it was stolen along with 3 horns.

are you saying you had a positive or negative experience? and how does that relate to the topic here? I can't tell.

I interpret it as someone who makes excruciatingly expensive blanks.

One of the few brands I refuse to work on. Difficult, not worth the money, and in the end still unrewarding.
