Bought one because of your review. Really like it!! I think there's no reason to buy anything else until the level of something like a Theo Wanne Slant Sig. Thank you so much!
Man! You make any mouthpiece sound great!!
Every time I hear you play man it's like a present to my ears . I'm a guitarist for many years and picked up the sax over a year ago at the happy young age of 65 man I love the tones and the incredibleness of it all and your inspired great playing is so cool,. I have a whole bunch of mouth pieces ha ha but these days I'm stickin with the Meyer 5m . Its an old one . just nice very nice . I love this incredible instrument. I will get this mouth piece too. To see what I come up with. Thanks again in the days of isolation
I've had a guitar for about 20 years but never had time to sit down with it so I recently got a tenor ukulele. LOL!!! I love my starter guitar! Thanks for the compliments
Good evening l got this mouthpiece four months ago because of your reccomendation. I am enjoying it. The next mouthpiece l intend to get is the Vandoren v16 with a 6 tip opening. Keep up the great work Sir .Greetings from Guyana South America.
Cool 😎
Good evening yes I have the Giardinelli GAS 10 Alto sax n its just awesome I also use Giardinelli Altosax reeds 2and a half I'm going to buy a box of #3 reeds
My EBay purchase three years ago agrees with your presentation. Love everything about your music. You my friend are great.
You are such a joy to watch and hear I really appreciate You input 🤔😱😎👍
Thank you
I read somewhere that this tenor mouthpiece is based on the Bari Woodwinds Esprit model, so I bought one and sure enough they appear identical except for one important feature. The Bari Esprit tip opening is about .085 inches and the Giardinelli is about .070, so if you were wishing that your Giardinelli came in a bigger tip opening the Bari Esprit appears to be it. It comes in a beautiful matte finish and I found one for even less money than the Giardinelli! The larger tip opening made a huge difference in my tone while keeping all the good attributes mentioned in your video. Maybe you could do a comparison of the two?
I will look into it. I like having low tip opening mouthpieces though. Thanks for the tip
@@Sirvalorsax I am guessing that Giardinelli had them reduce the tip opening to .070 for their version. The .085 Bari Woodwind version is also marketed as a student model and both are a heck of a bargain. Who cares if they are made of plastic if they play well?
Thank you for your view I got one today
Wow! I recently found the D'Addario Jazz Select 7M (105) which is SUPER free blowing with a 1.5 vandoren green box reed, but that Giardenelli blows it away for a big dark yet up-front sound. I'm gonna have to get one! It's got that darkness that I'm looking for (I'm a pretty "bright" player. Thanks for the review. RE: the articulation thing. You said "D" scale but noted and played an Eb scale. Is it me or what?
Hi,
Thank you very much for showing that you don't have to be rich to play saxophone. When I see 700 to 900$ mouthpiece, I wonder for most student and advance player if those mouthpieces are worth spending that much money. Love your videos.
700-900? Defiantly not for a student, if you are advanced and you want to spend that kinda money, sure that's your choice, whether it's worth it or not is subjective, for most it wouldn't be worth it, but maybe for you
The numbering system used by Otto Link is the generally accepted system used for bari and tenor mouthpieces.
Some inconsistency with the rails but my friend had one for alto sax and I did some work with it and it played excellent. he loves how it feels now
Informative and fun as ever. And as always... SEE YA!!!
I’m not sure if I’m just not used to it yet, but sometimes when playing this mouthpiece, it does this weird thing where it borderline locks up and barely plays, but it’s not all the time. It’s great when it doesn’t do that though, I’ve tried different reeds I’m just not quite sure. Like I said, it could just be not enough hours on it 🤷♂️
You need harder reeds if your reed closes up
The numbering system used by Meyer is the generally accepted system used for alto sax.
Congratulation from Italy! really interesting video....after that I try to catch a Giardinelli mounthpiece but they sale the tenor in 2 version different only in price....can you help me to identify the right one...maybe you can post a link in where and wich to buy...many thanks and again you have a great sound!...
That was sounding very warm and full. Nice one Mr. S. :D
Cool, smooth, polite, calm, suave beautiful with a marvelous sound quality reminiscent of that of Grover Washington, Jr.'s - merely the tonality
I adore your instructional energy, as well as your accessory exploring and sharing.
Lohvissimo!
Thanks
I listen to you the b Giardinelli tenor sax mouth piece n u sound awesome 👌 can please play the Giardinelli Alto sax mouth. I would like your opinion of it n would this mouth piece. I hope it will blow you away like the Tenor mouth piece did . You have a awesome sound .I been playing for a long time n I just got back in the game. I have the first metal mouth piece that Otto link first made the master link 1933 its awesome 👌
I bought one of these, and it was very good. I did a little refacing on it, with decent results, then decided to get a second one just to have for comparison. The second one was terrible; the table was concave all the way up to the facing curve break point, which meant that the reed always leaked. Very disappointed!
My point is simply this: There are manufacturing inconsistencies you have to anticipate.
Thanks mate, great stuff as always.
Thank you for the awesome review. I’m curious about the differences between ramp styles, the wall vs a sharper ramp.
I would take this basic plastic mouthpiece and open it up to a 7* Otto Link hard rubber slant signature 105" tip opening, or even a link 8, which is .110" thousands of an inch. You can't beat this piece for being inexpensive,( for marching band, for a beginner, or selling a sax with no piece included in the case.)
"best plastic mouthpiece i have ever played" I would personally love to see you play a SYOS they are professional custom mouthpieces that are 3D printed (made out of plastic) professional mouthpieces. Would love to hear your thoughts :))
Your awesome bro! Sir Valor is real fitting. You definitely are a cool dude and a monster of a player! Please keep the videos coming. I appreciate it. PEACE!
I'm having hard time to buy this giardinelli mouthpiece can you put a link where to get it....thank you
Music & Arts sells it! I work at one of the chain stores and I’m intrigued by this review! I’ve always seen it but I always thought it was an off brand Selmer copy.
Just ordered one for my Alto. Lets see who she rolls. Then maybe grab one for my tenor too. No matter what, It will reside along side my favorite mouthpiece stash, no Deadly Sin name dropping , but I have (G.A.S.) Question in one of your video's, were you playing at a place here in Nashville called The BRIDGE at The Renaissance Hotel? I did a gig there a couple years back on my bass and it sure looks like da place. Y'all got me thinking about a Jumbo Java and a marble D'Addario too! SVS, Excellent video's from the get go. THX. Jodi Anna
It looks like it’s supposed to be a “medium” facing curve but on a tip that small it’s so small it’s hard to tell.
Are these the same as the esprit tenor mpcs?
For 21 bucks, looks pretty nice.
Quelqu'un pourrait-il me dire comment faire pour acheter une embouchure Giardinelli en Europe , pas moyen de les trouver nulle part.....merci
cannot find it :-) pity. thanks for the great video
I wonder if the alto version is just as good.
Could it be an American Platting (out of Chicago) made mouthpiece?
A mouthpiece suited to raw beginners? Or would the Yamaha 5C be better?
I noticed this is a rather long faced mouthpiece. Would it make sense that they made the neck opening a bit larger so that it would slide onto the neck enough to compensate?
I don't know how much real effort they put into this but that could be a reason. They really impressed my with this one.
@@Sirvalorsax The more I play it the more I agree with you. I am no altissimo aficionado like a certain guy I watch on RUclips (you) but the little I can do is way easier with this mouthpiece than any other one I've ever tried and I've tried quite a few. I did have to replace the neck cork however to stay in tune, and the tightness has improved my playability down low. It really is a great mouthpiece regardless of the low price. Thank you for all the very informative videos.
Vandoren has good facing curve info
I'll look into it thanks
If it's fantastic, it seemed the same to me, but I don't know if he said the number on the mouthpiece
Sir.... stated "coming in around 0.070 to 0.75, ...#4 or so". Hope that helps. I find that the "number" rating is very/extremely inconsistent. I like the actual measurement as manufacturers cannot be relied upon to hit the published numbers anyway. Which is why I find most people say to go to a store and play mouthpieces until you find the one you like. Have a good day.
rod number 3 seems very hard
What did you do to fit the neck warming the cork?
Use paper strips

You're the boss
Nice review - See ya 🤣😂 !!!
Where can I get this mouthpiece?
I bought mine on either Amazon or musiciansfriend.com
You prefer this Mouthpiece over the Yamaha 5c?
Yes
@@Sirvalorsax I'm ordering it right now👍🏿
Where do I buy the mouthpiece?
I bought mine on musiciansfriend.com. they have them on the other guitar center stores also and on Amazon.
@@Sirvalorsax OK 👏👏👏👏👏👏🐓
Your review of the Giradinelli Tenor mouthpiece has got me interested in buying. But as you mentioned, not even Giradinelli publishes the tip opening or the facing length. You mentioned the tip opening "coming in around" .070 to .075 and then mention it may be a "number 4". I search for number 4 openings and find that many mouthpieces use that type of number system, but across the different brands, there is much inconsistency. I currently own three mouthpieces and not a single one measures out to be the measurements provided by the companies or by any chart I have found by the companies or from a search on the internet. I also found information on the internet (I know, it's the internet!) that says there doesn't seem to be an established manufacturing standard or set of guidelines for making mouthpieces - it's just whatever a particular manufacturer does. An example of inconsistency - My Vintage Selmer C * has published measurements as 0.071" / 1.80mm, for tip opening - it measures 0.062" / 1.5748mm. The facing length is published at 22mm, but measures 19mm. I am dissapointed by the true measurements because not, it seems I must either trust technical reviewers such as you, or I have to go to a retail store, yep - brick and mortar, and play a bunch of mouthpieces to find the "one". In this "Day of the Covid", I'm not going to go somewhere and play a bunch of mouthpieces - even if the store allows that now.
Here is the question: Can you take a measurement of the tip opening, for the Giradinelli you have, and provide a reply to this?
Thanks for your time and efforts. You have moved into the #1 youtube video maker for my viewing. Love the technical analysis of your videos and the music your videos have.
With the device that I have to measure the tip, it came in between 0.070 and 0.075. (There are some inconsistencies with the device I used) The general standard is the one used by Otto Link. On the Otto Link scale, that puts it in the 4 to 4* range.
@@Sirvalorsax Thanks!
Italy quality❤️
Naturalmente :)
