A good mouthpiece and Saxophone are critical elements to playing well. I've been fortunate to have the time to try out lots of combinations that you can hear on the links below. If you have questions about a specific sax or piece I'll be glad to answer emails. In all honesty, I think that a student (or pro) is better off sticking to something that gives him/her close to what they want. I can't tell you the number of times I listen back to a sound bite of something I was playing on 5 years ago and wonder why the heck I changed??. Anyway, enjoy. K
