Over on my YouTube & Twitter channels I recently hosted a ‘Mouthpiece Shootout’ competition between eight different tenor saxophone mouthpieces.
The eight mouthpieces (not in order) were
- An original Otto Link HR Slant Sig (that I recorded What if Rupert Murdoch liked Jazz, #JazzTrio and Jazz Vespers )
- A copy of the above by Ed Pillinger
- My current vintage Otto Link Metal Super Tone Master 8*
- The SYOS ‘Dan Forshaw’ mouthpiece
- The SYOS ‘Tivon Pennicott’ mouthpiece
- The SYOS ‘Daro Behrooki’ mouthpiece
- ‘Standard’ Yanagisawa HR mouthpiece (the stock mouthpiece with the ‘WO’ series tenor saxophones)
- D’Addario Select Jazz HR Tenor Mouthpiece
