Been a huge Patrick Bartley fan for years now and like Pat, I am a long time professional player who was kind of set on my gear. Been playing a Vandoren V16 A6S for years and then went to an A6S+ when that model came out. Just got a 6* in of this piece and after just over an hour, this might finally replace my Vandoren. The tip is barely more open than the V16 but the SYOS is bit more free and tons more projection. Sounds more full with more character as well. And I could go easily from a quiet and lush Desmond’ish “Take Five” into a sultry modern Dave Koz’ish tune with ease. Massively versatile. My Rigotti Gold 3S reeds actually feel a tad soft so I might have to step up to 3M or 3H. Love Pat and so far loving the piece! Will be spending a lot of time with it in the coming weeks to get my chops attuned to it and get my reed strength dialed in. Great job SYOS!👍
Just order hopefully I found my main mouthpiece

Hi! Thank you for sharing your experience with the mouthpiece. I'm really glad you like it :)
What’s your Tip Opening Size? It’s defaulted to 5.
Patrick plays a 6 opening
It seems to be a very easy blowing mouthpiece..... Right?
It is!
