Jon Van Wie Modern Meyer 6MM Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
This is a modern Meyer that was refaced by the late great Jon Van Wie. I had Jon work on a few tenor mouthpieces for me and his work was always great. I don’t think I ever had him work on an alto mouthpiece so this is a real treat for me to play this […]

This is a new Aizen SO mouthpiece that I received in the mail last week. It is a 7 tip opening. If you follow my blog regularly, then you might remember that I reviewed the very first limited edition Aizen alto sax mouthpiece when it first came out a few years ago. Since then, they […]
Ted Klum’s Versitone Acoustimax Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Frank Klum asking if I’d be interested in trying out Ted Klum’s new Acoustimax alto saxophone mouthpiece. As I was reading the email, I got to the bottom and was in shock when I saw that Frank lives in Hollis, New Hampshire. Hollis is the […]

Today, I am reviewing a mouthpiece made by Johannes Gerber in South Africa. I have never played a Johannes Gerber mouthpiece before but have always wanted to.

Sugal Super Gonz Copper Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece

MacSax Empyreal Alto Saxophone
Today, I’m reviewing the MacSax Empyreal Alto Saxophone. This sax is manufactured in Taiwan for the MacSax company in Austin Texas. This is the Unlacquered Finish model. It looks like bare brass which gives it a cool vintage look. I am told that the brass is subjected to a gas treatment that gives it a […]
John Thomas Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Review
Here we have a John Thomas tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I actually played this about a year ago but the recording has been sitting on my computer since. I totally forgot about it until this morning when I read a thread on “Sax on the Web” asking about John Thomas and his mouthpiece work. This mouthpiece […]

I received this tenor sax mouthpiece in a trade deal for one of my other mouthpieces. This is a metal Freddie Gregory Mark IV size 8 tenor saxophone mouthpiece. It has the ridges on the outside and a high rollover baffle in it. I have to say I am surprised that this tenor saxophone mouthpiece […]
