Here is an incredible Florida Link saxophone mouthpiece that was refaced by Erik Greiffenhagen from a 6 to a 7* (.105). I bought this mouthpiece from Les Arbuckle about 6 weeks ago and have been playing it ever since. Les came on SOTW (Sax on the Web) and said he had a link for sale […]

In this poll I am playing 8 measures of “In a Sentimental Mood” on 3 different Ponzol mouthpieces. I’m trying to play the melody in a similar way for each clip. See if you can hear a difference between the clips. If you can, vote for the one that you like the best! Which Ponzol […]
Ponzol Stainless Steel M2 Tenor Mouthpiece
Today, I have another Peter Ponzol M2 Stainless Steel tenor mouthpiece for review. I did a review of one of these a year or two ago but the sample clip I played of it was done in my garage. Since then, i have had a few people ask if I can do another one that […]
Ponzol M2 Gold Tenor Mouthpiece
This is another classic Peter Ponzol M2 tenor mouthpiece. I’ve played about 5-6 of these and they were all great. This one is a .110 tip opening which feels perfect for me. They have a brightness and kick to them that really comes out when you are on the gig.
Ponzol M1 Gold Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a Peter Ponzol M1 that I purchased just for the heck of it. I have tried a bunch of M2’s but never a M1( Maybe in a store once) This is a really nice piece. It a bit brighter than the Ponzol ML tenor mouthpiece I played before but a bit darker than […]
Morgan ML 8* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This a Morgan ML tenor mouthpiece. I received this from a friend of mine who loves it. These use to be made by Ralph Morgan but now are made by Brian Powell and Eric Greiffenhagen. They both used to work with Ralph Morgan. These two guys have done a great job at keeping […]
Lawton 9BB JVW Refaced Tenor Mouthpiece Review
This a Lawton 9BB tenor saxophone mouthpiece that was refaced by JVW (Jon Van Wie). If you have never heard of Jon Van Wie, he was a great mouthpiece refacer that passed away some years ago. I had him do some work on some mouthpieces for me when I first started getting into this mouthpiece […]
Lawton 8* BB Special Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This a Lawton 8*BB Special tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I’ve never tried a Lawton before so I was looking forward to playing this one. This a special one that Geoff Lawton made without the typical sliding ligature track he usually puts on his mouthpieces. This is a great playing mouthpiece. The 8* tip is a bit above […]
Tenney Jazzmaster 7* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is the “Doc” Tenney Jazzmaster 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. A friend of mine on the internet was kind enough to send it to me so I could put a clip up of it. Mr. Tenney has quite the reputation for his mouthpiece work. I’ve had a few students that have played his pieces over […]
Morgan 6J Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is an old Morgan 6J soprano mouthpiece that a student of mine let me borrow. These were made by the legendary Ralph Morgan. Ralph passed away in 2007 and it was a great loss to the saxophone world. I’ve told this story before but one time I had a Morgan mouthpiece that was […]
Drake Ceramic Small Chamber Soprano Mouthpiece
This is a new Drake ceramic soprano mouthpiece that I am trying out. This piece has a .065 tip opening and a small chamber. The mouthpiece plays with a nice focused tone. Much more focused sounding than the Drake large chambered mouthpiece. If you listen to both clips you can hear the difference between a […]
Drake Ceramic Large Chamber Soprano Mouthpiece
This is a another new Drake ceramic soprano mouthpiece that I am trying out. this piece has a .065 tip opening and a larger chamber in it than I have seen in other soprano mouthpieces. This mouthpiece plays with a big fat tone. Much more spread sounding than the Drake small chambered mouthpiece. If you […]
Selmer Super Session J Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a sound clip of my main soprano saxophone mouthpiece for the last 6 years. It is a Selmer Super Session J mouthpiece that I bought from WWBW. At the time that I bought this, I also tried an I tip opening. I remember feeling like the I gave me a Kenny G type […]
Aizen LS Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is the new Aizen LS 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I have one of these for my alto saxophone that I love and am lucky enough to be able to try this tenor sax model. I’ve had it for 2 weeks and played it almost everyday. These are advertised as being copies of a vintage […]
