Wow. There seems to be a lot of color to be had out of this piece. Lovely sub-tones and a very direct and focused sound when you give it some beans - but without becoming piercing or buzzy. Great review as always Sir. Sirvalorsax: the channel sax players can trust. 🎷
Thanks for the review. I have one of the early Super Gonz 4/93 copper pieces. The only complaint I have is that the teeth guard fell off years ago. Trying to figure out how to fix it. My friend bought this mouthpiece and I’ll say this, he never ever sounded better but like night and day. My girlfriend, for my birthday present, bought this from him for me. I have yet to play a piece I love more and as an alto player the piece plays so well that it makes me want an alto piece that plays as well and consistently as the Sugal.
That is great that they took your advice and fixed the issues in the way they did. The silver one sounds brighter to me and I preferred the gold plated one. Nice mouthpiece!
I loved this review, and I think you sounded amazing with this piece, better than with any other piece. I really appreciate the fact that you'll take down the other video, because after that one I wouldn't ever buy one of Gary Sugal's piece, but after this video my opinion has changed a lot. Thank you for this great content, and thanks to Gary Sugal for all the improvements he has done to his mouthpieces.
Sirvalorsax.. all I can say is wow you really sound great on those pieces. You have a rich fat sound on those mouthpieces, they really sound great.I've also been working with Mr Sugal on getting a mouthpiece for myself as well.The funny part is I ordered my mouthpiece based off the first review you did on the defective mouthpiece. I understand it had his flaws but that mouthpiece had an awesome tone. So I took it upon myself to contact Mr sagal and order one based off the tone that you were getting. Also like you said Mr sagal has been fantastic about working with me on getting the right piece .He took the time out to ask me what I was looking for and he made a piece for me based off the description I gave him of the tone I was looking for. Mr sagal is a great guy and he really stands behind the product that he's putting out. I couldn't have asked for anything more. But again my friend you sound really great on those mouthpieces I've been listening to you for a while on the mouthpiece reviews that you do and I have to admit the Sugal mouthpiece really made your tone stand out. Keep up the good work my friend I watch your videos daily.
I could definitely hear both the brightness & thickness of the sound, to your point about how it has the all the good aspects of small, medium, & large chamber setups. That's very intriguing to me as my desired sound concept has brightness & color without sacrificing a big, fat sound. I want to be able to cut steel & knock down brick walls! 😂
Love your reviews and your playing even more. Sorry to be the bad guy in the room , and I am probably comparing apples to oranges, but I was genuinely more captured by the sound of your Berg 100/0 review.
On the eve of Thanksgiving I received this email from a customer who just received a KW III +s 18kt HGE size 7 :.. Emails like this and by the way over the past thirty four years I received thousands like this just make my work so worth while and enjoyable. "Hi Gary, “I’ve gotta tell you that this mouthpiece is not what I was expecting Not even close. It’s much better😀 I’m truly amazed! I can get a buzz outta this with little effort. Overtones, bends... I’m in love with this thing. I am using the Rigotti Jazz 2.5 reeds. I purchased a box with a mixture of soft, medium, and hard. I’ve tried the soft and hard and prefer the 2.5 hard so far, but I haven’t tried the medium yet. ,,,I’m thinking the size 7 was a good choice!" You rock! Ken Henriksen “
You sound great on both the silver and gold plated mouthpieces. I won't be surprised if the TAM becomes your daily player. I enjoy all your reviews. Keep up the good work.
Damn I really wanna try these pieces. I've had several buddies who have had issues with them though... but it sounds like those have hopefully been resolved.
I have been looking for a way to get one of these but right now it is tough. If I do though, I'll be doing those reviews for sure. Thanks for watching my channel
got mine on order! love your playing and reviews....still trying yibuys and found a great soprano yibuy in gold. the tenors have been hit and miss with all misses so far...one had edges so sharp i could cut meat with it. dual purpose? ! sanded off easily
For me it's the best tenor saxophone mouthpiece! It's the ultimate nozzle! I am raising money to buy a Sugal KW 2 or a kw 3! Here in Brazil is very expensive! It's my dream to have a Gary sugal KW 2 or kw 3!
I really want to see your take on Vandoren Java mouthpiece (not the “Jumbo Java” that you already reviewed, just the “Java”). It’s Ralph Bowen main mouthpiece. It’s kind of like Jumbo version but without that aggressive baffle. It seems like they were targeting the sweet spot between projection and brightness vs full body and dark sound. Thanks again for your great videos.
I love Ralph Bowen's playing and he did inspire me to get a Java. I figured I go for the "BIG ONE" and get the Jumbo. I'll consider it and thanks for the input
Good Sir, very nice. Thank you. Not bad....haha. I think you sound even better on less baffled mpcs. Shows off all that power. Guessing makes you work more though. Vertical / Sugal vs, horizontal / Wanne ripples....? "Come on Man! "
What a great sound! I'm speechless! I play a Guardala MBII handmade by Nadir... do you think I would see a big difference if I get the gold Sugal you've played in this video?
I would love to get one of the Nadir MB mouthpieces. Its been on my list for a long time but I can't say because I've never played the Nadir piece before.
Cannonball Vintage Reborn with Dark Amber Lacquer. The silver neck is a Cannonball VR Polished silver neck sold separately. This sax only comes with one neck but the Big Bell comes with two. Thanks for watching
This one sounds pretty good and I agree there is that Sugal vibe to it. How in tune does it play? My older one was all over the place, so this might inspire me to try one of these. As far as how you sound, the note attack is not as crisp as say the Vando's, the notes are a bit slower coming out, but that's OK for pop music. It is more soulful. The Silverstein helps with the response issue I commented on a second ago and overall better with the Silverstein. Also, need to do the reed suck test. That would be interesting.
Great review, I’m a new subscriber and I was wondering what do you think of the JodyJazz HR pieces? I heard that Kirk Whalum plays a JJ HR *8 with the power ring lig. I’ve been using that set up as well and have been making some cool different sounds
I haven't played them but I have worked with some guys that have and they love them. I'm trying to find a way to acquire the less baffled metal ones in the future.
I haven't played that piece but there are many people that cross shop the two. I really like having thick rails on my pieces and Jody Jazz makes thin rail pieces. I think it comes down to personal preference though. I haven't tried the DV line from JJ yet.
How can I tell if I’m getting one of the first run of production TAMs or the revised/good ones if I’m buying online. Is there a marking or anything that let’s me know?
These reminds me of "Eastern music DG fat boy metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece gold or silver plated" on eBay looks really good and they're like $100.00 shipped but less features. I know this isn't relivant to your video but I thought you might want to see the Fatboy mouthpieces. I really liked your tone in this video, just the kind of tone I'm looking for in Tenor.
This is good info. I think al lot of people are copying these and just selling them cheaper. With modern scanning tools and laser printing, it seems a lot easier to do now than it was before
Sirvalorsax I just ordered the Gold kw iii Tam for tenor. I see you are using the Silverstein cryo 4 ligature. Which size will fit this piece ? wwbw gives me 3 options. 1) Small Metal Sax 2) Medium Metal Sax 3) Large Metal Sax. I just want to purchase the correct size. Thanks,
I bought the one that fits Otto Link mouthpieces. There is a section on the Silverstein website that allows you to pick from which mouthpiece you own. They may have changed it from the time I bought mine so I don't want to give you wrong info.
Sounds great! But I’m a bit hesitant about this molding thing… Isn’t it really tricky to get a good consistency from one mp to another? From my experience ( not from hundreds but let’s say 25..) In mouthpieces, it’s really important that everything is exact. Facing curve, flat table, even rails, well worked chamber etc. etc. How do you guarantee that with a technique like molding?? I mean there’s lots of stories, and also some experience myself, of inconsistency from mp to mp of same brand and size. Otto Link’s, Dukoff’s and so on. Resulting in that one piece can sound and feel really good and the next one not so good.. Of course I should not criticize a mp I haven’t played, but just from the look.. To me, the result compared to a CNC piece looks.. not that good.. that piece sounds really amazing, but again, consistency.. Another question: the rails look really thick compared to most other brand’s? It doesn’t seem to have any negative effect, but most other mp-company’s seems to strive for relatively thin rails.. any comments on that? Thanks for a great channel and great reviews!
Scientifically, adding mass to the horn doesn't actually affect the sound wave in any way. For mass/ wall thickness to affect the sound waves you make with a conical bore woodwind instrument, the walls must be both a fraction of a millimeter thick and slightly ovular, neither of which is the case with a saxophone. What I'm saying is that the heavy screws, heavy mouthpieces, heavy etc, are all phycological effects. That being said, if it helps you play better, do it.
I somewhat agree with you in that I can't tell the difference when listening back to recordings with or without, but the instrument does seem to feel and respond differently when mass is added to these areas.
@@norsktube I would think that two metals would not have different enough sound absorption properties to affect a sound wave in something the size of a saxophone, but I don't have anything to back that up, just my intuition Also consider this: one if the largest studies about this kind of topic was done with flute players. Sterling silver is considered the best head joint material. Scientists made many headjoints, some from silver, wood, steel, titanium, e ct. Out of the entire sample size, single a single flute player was able to identify the silver headjoint, and the data had no correlation for flutists actually identifying headjoints correctly
The ability to actually detect any difference with the human ear is questionable for sure. My advice to people when they are purchasing anything related to audio is: when you can’t hear the difference, stop spending extra money. That’s the bottom line for sure.
I would say you can’t be objective after speaking to garry sugal. The man seems to be such a talented orator. He surely cast some mouthpiece loving spell on you.
More seriously, Silvalorsax I like it better when you blind test a mouthpiece rather having one sent for you by the manufacturer. Let me explain. Let’s say a manufacturer has a manufacturing process that produces 30% very good mouthpieces, 30% ok mouthpieces and 30% not so good mouthpieces. It’s too easy to send a very good one to the reviewer. I am not saying that’s what Gary sugal’s production is like or anything and I don’t want to be rude to anyone but... that’s just a fact that has to be considered.
The piece I replaced and sent to Adriene was selected by me from a new production (18 pcs) using a new steel molding process. Every piece played very consistently ..In fact on a scale of one to ten the 17 others being 8-9...Adriene’s piece I would grade as a 7 1/2 -8..All new orders are play tested by me and will be no less than 8-9..
I'm impressed with the mouthpiece. But I'm even more impressed with Sugal, and how he handled this whole situation. The man has character.
Agreed!!
I take constructive criticism very seriously and try no matter who the player is to do the right thing.If a player is not satisfied I will correct the issue-that my promise to my fellow saxophonist around the globe.

I will very soon do a more in-depth play-through of the silver one because so many people have asked me about it.

More seriously, Silvalorsax I like it better when you blind test a mouthpiece rather having one sent for you by the manufacturer.
