SK Mouthpieces x Andrew Gould SHINE alto saxophone mouthpiece!
Ridiculously excited to announce that I've been working on an alto saxophone mouthpiece with Stephan Kammerer of SK Mouthpieces! I called him one day a few years ago to ask about how we can come up with the closest possible copy of my vintage NY USA Meyer 6M, from the 60's. Through working with him, dialing it in, and testing many versions over the last few years, we've finally arrived at the goal which has FAR exceeded our expectations. This piece is made from actual hard rubber, and is an exact replica of my piece, copying every dimension (both inside and out) as closely as we could possibly get it. It plays just like my piece, and for anybody that's looking for a vintage NY Meyer.... this is by far the closest and best thing you can find. It has the sound, the feel and the response, it's literally the mouthpiece! Check it out right here https://www.skmouthpieces.com/alto-sax/shine if you're interested! I'll be posting comparison clips and videos soon too!
