Do anybody knows if there is a post showing how the stock added, can be removed without damaging the mouthpiece? If YES, a link would be helpfull. Thank you in advance!
Hola..tengo varias dudas..ojalá pueda enseñarme!! 1-un deflector muy alto afecta la afinación?. 2-cualquier boquilla aunque sea la más mala del mundo si se hace un buen trabajo puede sonar profesional?. 3- lo que pasa es que yo me siento bien con una Julius Keilwerth vintage en cuanto a mis comesuras,fisionomía llego al 4to re (D) en el saxo alto! Y me siento bastante cómodo,pero el sonido esta muerto algo oscuro para mi gusto,y deseo más brillo!! .. Que seria mas apropiado abrir la abertura o ponerle masilla?.deceo un brillo en los agudos más profundos sin que lastime como en los graves más o menos con sonido de los graves contemporáneos algo aterciopelado!! Se puede convertir cualquier boquilla en estas características?..
first of all, thanks a lot! I learned so much through your videos! I got a question about the tune. so, I've made this modification at my mouthpiece and Noticed that the tune point at the sax neck has changed, and also the pitch of some notes changed too... its normal??? or doing this just change the brightness? in this case i didn't it properly. in my case I play soprano sax and just want the lower register get a bit brighter. if you could help me I would be so much thankful!
Yes, I totally ignored talking about intonation. Usually you can just pull out more to compensate for adding baffle material. But there are trade offs. After you retune the mid range, the short length high notes will be flatter than they were and/or the long length low notes will be sharper. This can create a problem or fix one if they make things better. Soprano sax mouthpieces are very sensitive to chamber volume changes. So when you experiment, do not just listen to the sound. Also evaluate the intonation changes.
Great video! Please keep me "in your loop",as far as your shop status moving forward,With thanks,Jeff

One of my friends had a dangerouly high baffle and ended up seriously hurting himself. You never think its going to happen to you....

In the 1970's, because of rock, everyone wanted their mouthpieces to be very bright
