As a saxophone player, your mouthpiece is the most important part of creating your sound—even more important than the horn itself. The mouthpiece plays a huge role in the feel, tone, playability and intonation of your instrument. Finding your true sound is a lifelong journey that begins with finding

the right mouthpiece. If you’re still playing the mouthpiece that came with the instrument, you’re not getting the most out of your tone. Whether you’re a beginner or have been playing for years, if you haven’t explored upgrading your mouthpiece, what are you waiting for?

THEO WANNE Whether you seek a vintage sound with the New York Brothers alto or the rich tone of the DURGA3, Theo Wanne has a mouthpiece for you. For brightness and power in an

alto mouthpiece, consider the Mindi Abair Custom. For edge and projection in a tenor mouthpiece, the Shiva, with its proprietary "shark-gill" chamber, is a winning choice.

D’ADDARIO WOODWINDS The Select Jazz line is milled, not molded, from solid rod rubber, using D’Addario’s precise computercontrolled mouthpiece-making technology. The result is a mouthpiece with a classic sound and response, with even intonation across the entire

range of the saxophone. The inspiration for these mouthpieces was derived from the great vintage mouthpieces of the first half of the 20th century, but with modern precision milling.
