Staff Review

"This mouthpiece has a strong and pure core, very dark in nature, and centered in the way that a good classical mouthpiece should be. For me, the dynamic range is confined to a smaller scale, but I think that’s largely because we’re dealing with a classical piece that is focused by nature – in other words, the sound is more concentrated around the quieter dynamics and this is where its fundamental expression is. If you’re playing classical music you need to have a clean and precise control and this piece allows you to do that very well." - Jim - sax.co.uk
