This is a first! I tried a new SYOS Dayna Stephens 7 soprano sax mouthpiece yesterday that they sent me to review. Within 30 seconds, I thought it was so perfect that I decided to record the sound clip immediately. Just a beautiful fat and warm soprano sound in my mind. Check out the full review and sound clip below! Steve

Of all the SYOS Signature pieces, I've been most interested in the Dayna Stephens models (s/t/b). I really like the sound you get on the sop. Out of curiosity what horn are you using on that clip?

Thanks! YSS-62 First and only soprano I have ever played since around 1989.

Ooo, my dream horn!

Thanks for the review Steve.
I do like the sound that you get with it.
Sounds really nice.
All the best

I also have this model with a 7 tip opening and it's nice. I'm still stuck on my Theo Wanne Gaia 3 Dark but I will pull this one out again at some point.

Gaia 3 Dark? I didn't know that was a thing?

Nefertiti, your site is fantastic. I didn't even know about it.

Steve - Yes Theo was making an experimental dark version of the Gaia 3. If you are interested you should talk with Spooner or contact Bryan Vance (604-312-7478) at Theo Wanne to see if they have any hanging around. It was a short run so I'm not sure if there are any available.

Thanks for this great review. You really did the manufacturers a real service by writing such a detailed write up about your experience with it. I've spoken with others about this mouthpiece who originally viewed these mouthpieces as a childish joke but were pleasantly surprised when they actually played them. I'm on the fence about the colours. Part of me appreciates the vivid colours and part of me finds them somewhat tacky and I switch back and forth all the time. Still a great review.

Before I came across this thread and Steve's review, just from listening to Dayna's playing on the SYOS site, I went for one of these mouthpieces, too (in an 8*). Same reaction—loved it immediately; I definitely recommend it.

(And thanks to Steve for the fantastic site and detailed mouthpiece reviews—I have a Gaia tenor piece because of his reviews and multiple sound comparisons.)
