Tenor 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 Meyer 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 Otto Link Connoisseur Series "Early Babbitt" Sizes 7 and 6* In Stock - $379
JJ Babbitt finally decided to do a reissue of the vintage Early Babbitt tenor mouthpiece using the original molds and it is fantastic! This is nothing like the standard modern Tone Edge mouthpiece they were making for many years which was dead, dull and stuffy. This piece is perfectly balanced and has all of the color and pop you could want without being too edgy or aggressive.
NEW Otto Link "Florida" 8 - $349
JJ Babbitt has been doing some great things lately with their re-issue series. This is a much better Link than the old standard Super Tone Master and you can see the difference in the baffle and finishing work. This piece has much more color and versatility and plays very full and fat. This is easily the best metal Link in decades.
