These are the best mouthpieces that I have played in my life.....and I have tried hundreds of them....You can really hear the sound you have in you head since the first moment you play them....The excellent intonation, sound quality, volume, versatility, terrrific finished and personality are some of the specifications they offer. Thanks to Minoru for this perfect work for the saxophone players!!!
I played the LS 7* in a concert at the National Theatre yesterday and I was surprised how amazing this mouthpiece is. I feel like if I have been playing for a long time. Every reed fits well.
WOW!!!! I am so happy!!!! I showed it to some friends in Miami....and all of them were in shock!!!
