I received this from a friend of mine to try. It is an old metal link that Phil Barone worked on at one time. It has the Barone engraving on it and the link ridge is gone as Phil does when he refaces a link. You can’t tell it use to be a link except […]
Tenor Medium Baffle Reviews
Berg Larsen 120/1 SMS Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the first Berg Larsen I have ever played. It’s one of the stainless steel ones. A friend of mine said he found this and it was a good mouthpiece so I scooped it up. Although it has a high baffle it isn’t that bright sounding but has a big full loud sound. I […]
Phil-Tone Tenor Mouthpiece
I received my Phil-Tone tenor saxophone mouthpiece from Philip Engleman. Phil is known as Sigmund451 on SOTW. (Sax on the Web) I opened the package and put the reed I had been playing on my hard rubber Otto Link on it and it played great right from the start. I was very impressed with […]
Early Babbitt Otto Link .110 Tenor Mouthpiece
This is the Early Babbitt Otto Link I have posted about before. The last SP otto link I got that Brian Powell had worked on was a .110 and I loved it. I t just felt like the tip opening was where I felt the most comfortable. I sent this Early Babbitt Otto Link (.105) […]
Mouthpiece Cafe Bergonzi Slant Tenor Mouthpiece
Everything I’ve played of Brian Powell’s I’ve loved and this is no exception. This is his new Bergonzi Slant model. The Bergonzi Slant by Mouthpiece Cafe plays effortlessly and has a beautiful tone to it. I’ve never played a great slant but I’ve been told my Early Babbitt HR link plays like one. I […]
Theo Wanne NY Link Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a NY link that I won off ebay that was advertised as worked on by Theo Wanne. When I received this piece it was a 7*. It had a nice sound but I felt that when I pushed it hard it got too bright and harsh sounding. It has a medium baffle […]
Brian Powell Refaced NY Link 7*
This is a NY link that I won off ebay that was advertised as worked on by Theo Wanne. I put my own baffle in it. There is an earlier clip of it on here if you look with a description. I sent it off to Brian Powell and asked him to clean up […]
Early Babbitt HR Otto Link 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
Holy Cow! This piece is great. I just got four pieces back today from Brian Powell. This is the Jon Van Wie refaced link that has a clip posted of it last year. This piece always played nice but didn’t have any guts to it. I really couldn’t dig in with it. I played another […]
Morgan 8M Tenor Mouthpiece
Happy New Year! This is a Morgan piece that I won off ebay. These are the best mouthpieces for the price out there. I’ve owned 3 of these as well as 3 of his clarinet mouthpieces. Very consistent work. You know when you order a Morgan that you won’t get a dud. […]
LAW Rollover 8B Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of four rollover baffle pieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. These are all pieces with smooth rollover baffles similar to metal links (but prettier). They are different than the first high baffled piece that I recieved from Lawrie that is more like a Guardala Brecker baffle in that the baffles are a […]
LAW Rollover 7*D Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of four rollover baffle pieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. He is in the UK and makes LAW saxophone mouthpieces. This one has a baffle in-between the IV and II model that I have also posted clips for.
LAW Rollover 7* IV Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of 4 rollover baffle mouthpieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. This has the highest and longest baffle of the four. I think the chamber is smaller because the baffle runs through it. This sounds the brightest to me of the four.
LAW Rollover 7* II Tenor Mouthpiece
This is one of 4 rollover baffle pieces I received from Lawrence Waldron. This is a LAW 7* II. This one has the lowest baffle of the four I believe. Darker sound. Very pretty. Doesn’t have the cut or projection of the 8B but has a nice dark sound.
Theo Wanne NY Link .110 Tenor Mouthpiece
I bought a Theo Wanne Link mouthpiece off ebay. When I received it in the mail , it was way too bright for me. It had that Brecker type baffle in it that made it super bright. I took a screw driver and with a little pressure popped the baffle out (It’s a NY link […]
