Just put up a review and sound clip of the Saxscape "Live" .110 Slim Profile tenor saxophone mouthpiece. What a fun mouthpiece to play! If your looking for a piece that can straddle that line between an Otto Link and a Guardala, this would be a great mouthpiece to consider. Check it out!

Posted a new review and sound clip of the Corry Bros Mesa 7* hard rubber tenor saxophone mouthpiece today. I've been playing this for the last few days. Full bodied thick powerful sound with less higher partials in the sound. Corry Bros are in the UK. Check it out! Let me know what you think.......

Posted a new review and sound clip of a unique Barone Hollywood 8 tenor saxophone mouthpiece that was worked on by Keith Bradbury(MojoBari). The original played great but I needed something more suited to my medical issues as far as resistance and power goes. Check it out!

Since this was ~500 mouthpieces ago for me, I had to pull up my records to see what was done. Steve sent me some facing numbers for a JVW mouthpiece that he had. I don’t know if they were supplied to him by JVW or someone else. But I did not measure the facing using my gauges. I fit an elliptical facing curve through this data. It had a significant hump in the curve 9-12 mm from the tip compared to a true eliipse. Was this a facing feature or a result of a different measured/set of gauges? I ended up choosing a target curve for their Barone that was a true ellipse that I thought would have a similar resistance to the data sent me. Maybe a little less without the odd hump in it. If I had measured the curve myself, I might have leaned towards copying it more exactly. But since I did not trust the numbers sent to me 100%, I thought it was best to supply a great facing curve near the numbers sent.

Excited to review a JX Custom JXFL tenor saxophone mouthpiece today that is similar to a solid silver Francois Louis tenor mouthpiece like Bob Berg used to play. Unique sound with lots of power. I've included a sound clip also. Check it out!

Old solid silver FL mouthpiece: https://www.facebook.com/509654555758777/photos/?tab=album&album_id=814040638653499
New silver plated bronze FL mouthpiece: https://www.facebook.com/509654555758777/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1156258374431722

... both are small chamber mouthpiece, but not designed to be bright: they sound more or less a crossover between a Selmer "Metal Classic" and a Berg Larsen "Bullet chamber"

The solid silver FL used by Bob Berg was a kind of custom mouthpiece... with, probably, a different design... probably more like the wooden FL pieces: medium large chamber with a kind of baffle.

Wow! Great pics! Are these your pieces? Nice! The JXFL looks close in most regards except the chamber has straight sidewalls. It's interesting that he didn't go all the way and scoop those out also. I have another piece that is fashioned after a Dave Guardala and he did the same thing with straight sidewalls in the chamber. I have never seen a Guardala with straight sidewalls in the chamber. They play well in my opinion.........Thanks for the pics.

Just put up a new review of a brand new, fresh out of the box 100th anniversary Florida Otto Link. Untouched by human hands until I opened it. There were differences between this one and the Jimmy Jensen refaced one I reviewed a few weeks ago. I found it interesting........

Just finished a review and sound clips of the new Theo Wanne Gold Gaia 3 tenor saxophone mouthpiece that I am very excited about. This was a joy to play and one of the best tenor sax mouthpieces I have played in all these years. As is usual for me, when I am excited, I tend to write too much and play too much but if you want to check out the review it is below. Let me know what you think.........Great job to Theo Wanne and his team!!

Posted a new review and sound clip of the new Gaia 3 hard rubber tenor saxophone mouthpiece by Theo Wanne this morning. Many of you have been asking for this since my review of the metal Gaia 3 tenor mouthpiece last week, so here you go. If you read until the end of the review, Theo Wanne was nice enough to give me a coupon code for 10% off the mouthpiece if you decide you want to give it a try also. Hope it helps. Let me know what you think........ Thanks, Steve

Posted a new review and sound clip of the SYOS Chad Lefkowitz-Brown Signature tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I was a bit skeptical of a plastic mouthpiece as I write in the review but this mouthpiece plays great and the sound clip sounds great in my unbiased opinion.........Hope this helps, Steve

Just posted a new review and soundclip of the SYOS Tivon Pennicott tenor mouthpiece. This is a darker mouthpiece than the SYOS Chad LB model I reviewed a few weeks ago and gives players another option who want a darker tenor saxophone tone.

Posted a new review and sound clip of the Retro Revival Tru-Slant tenor saxophone mouthpiece today. This is advertised as a copy of a Slant Signature Otto Link mouthpiece and is certainly in the ballpark when comparing it to my EB (Slant Blank) Otto Link mouthpiece. It has a rich thick tone full of character and overtones. Check it out!

Ok, so this isn't scientific in the least but I wanted to do a post on my site for years playing the same mouthpiece design with different material to see if it makes any difference? I attempted to do that today with two Theo Wanne Gaia 3 tenor saxophone mouthpieces. Listen to the clips and see if you can hear any differences? I'm curious what you think? Please respond in the comment section at the bottom of the page on my site so we can see if I am crazy or if others hear a difference also....... Thanks, Steve
