Here’s a brand new mouthpiece review for you. You probably have never heard of this brand. I had never heard of them before a couple weeks ago either. I received an email from someone from China asking if I would be willing to try some of their mouthpieces and post a review of […]

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 […]
Otto Link Super Tone Master Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece Refaced by Eric Falcon
This is another Modern Otto Link Super Tone Master I received to try out. This one was originally a 7 tip (.100) but was refaced and oped up to a .110 by Eric Falcon. From what I understand Eric Falcon used to do mouthpiece work for Jody Espina of Jody Jazz. He now is refacing […]

Selmer Long Shank Soloist Tenor Mouthpiece
This is a Vintage Selmer Long Shank Soloist Tenor Mouthpiece that was originally a C*. This mouthpiece has been refaced to a .105 tip opening by Brian Powell. I have been wanting to try one of these ever since I tried a Selmer short shank soloist about a year ago. I loved the short shank […]
Ralph Morgan MLL 8* Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
This a Ralph Morgan MLL 8* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. This use to be a ML model but the owner of the piece sent it to Erik Greiffenhagen to have the chamber made larger so now it is a MLL model. The tip opening of this mouthpiece is an 8* which for a Morgan is a […]
White Brilhart Tonalin 7* Tenor Mouthpiece
Here is a White Brilhart Tonalin 7* tenor saxophone mouthpiece. I believe this one is from the late 60’s although I’m not an expert on Vintage Brilhart mouthpieces. Mark Sepinuck was kind enough to let me try this one. He felt that it gave him a “Gene Ammons” type of sound. I really dig the […]
Barone Jazz Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
Here is a fairly new Phil Barone tenor saxophone mouthpiece. This is the “Jazz” model and is a 7*(.105) tip opening. I believe this is a 2009 model although there is no date on it (his older mouthpieces had dates engraved on the side of them). I have owned 5-6 Barone mouthpieces over the […]

Here is a JodyJazz ESP 7* (.105) tenor saxophone mouthpiece. These are made by Jody Espina who has a huge variety of mouthpieces that he makes at www.jodyjazz.com. I borrowed this from a good friend of mine. These mouthpieces come with what’s called a “spoiler”. It is a black wedge that you slide into the […]
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.
