Alto Mouthpieces
I am a dealer for Morgan Mouthpieces and Aaron Drake Mouthpieces so I usually have a good selection of those available in the shop. I have tried everything and I feel those are some of the best handmade mouthpieces on the market. I also usually have an assortment of more mainstream brands like D'Addario and Vandoren to choose from. The best way to buy a mouthpiece is to try several in person first but if you're not local and would like to have a mouthpiece shipped to you, just give me a call and I can help make a recommendation and send it out to you.
NEW Aaron Drake Phil Woods "Masters Series" Sizes 5 (.075") & 6 (.080") In Stock - $325
This mouthpiece is the product of a very special project in collaboration with the Phil Woods estate.
This mouthpiece is a near identical replica of the mouthpiece that Phil Woods played for over 40 years. The essential geometry of the mouthpiece is identical to Phil's mouthpiece, and it has the great characteristic vibe of one of the greatest alto saxophone sounds the world has ever known!
There is a comfortable level of resistance balanced with a freeness and ease of play through the range of the alto. A true experience to play and explore its potentials.
Each Phil Woods Mouthpiece is Handcrafted by Aaron Drake and is finished with a serial number.
Each mouthpiece includes a Drake Quad Point ligature and cap, velvet pouch and carry case
These mouthpieces are designed for a "universal" ligature fitment and most standard HR Alto ligatures will fit

Used Phil-Tone Intrepid 7 (.081") - $300
From Phil: "It is safe to say that the Intrepid alto mouthpiece offers the unique combination of being the fattest, most colorful and powerful piece of the modern or vintage era. It has lightening fast response and has a tone that can be easily shaped. It is vibrant, powerful and projects while maintaining a balanced buzz and warmth through the range. It is a beautifully voiced piece for a discerning palate for everything from sultry ballads to hard bop."
NEW Vandoren Java A35 ($125)
NEW Claude Lakey Original - Sizes 5, 6, and 7 In Stock - $89
USED Theo Wanne Gaia2 7 Hard Rubber - $400
This piece was one I bought for myself and played for a few months and is one of my favorites. It's flawless and has no damage and comes with the original ligature, cap, patches, pouch, and box. This is an incredibly versatile piece. If you push it hard it can play extremely loud and as bright as you want but if you back off it can go quite dark with a great subtone too.
