Dave Guardala BM Soprano HM GP

I have a Selmer series iii jubilee soprano and have been playing it for around 10 years and decided to buy a handmade BM mouthpiece because I know that they are superb mouthpieces(see below*). I tend to use the Soprano sax in a church praise band and also occasionally in a Windband.I haven’t had it for very long and I still need to practice more but I already know that with some more hard work it will be fantastic. OK ,as things stand,I have found the mouthpiece to work really well from bottom to top with the standard legere 2.5 reed .I tried the Legere Signature 2.5 and found it to be a bit too freeblowing for me ( but I know that I could control the freeblowing with a bit of work) and a bit thin on the higher notes.I would also point out that I have been practicing in my living room where the acoustics are not great, especially when playing high notes.I have not yet managed to play in a hall (due to Coronavirus lockdown)where the the acoustics are much better and I am looking forward to the day when I can let rip there.

* I have been playing Tenor and alto saxophone for around 20 years. I already have three other handmade Guardala mouthpiece pieces (Super king and MB for Tenor sax and a King for Alto saxophone).I can honestly say that these mouthpieces are fantastic but you only get out what you put in, you need to practice.If you put in the work I guarantee you that it will be worth it .These mouthpieces are better than you but they make you want to play and practice .I find practice extremely enjoyable with these mouthpieces and I look back and can only say that I wish that I had, had them twenty years ago.

De loin le meilleur bec que j'ai pu tester. Utilisé avec une anche Rico Royal 2,5.
Très grand justesse, homogénéité et précision : aucune difficulté du si bémol grave au fa# aigu. Les suraigus sortent hyper facilement jusqu'au do. C'est le seul bec qui m'a permis ça !
Côté fabrication, rien à redire, c'est quasiment du sur mesure.
La ligature rempli bien son office : coller l'anche au bec !
Le son est rond, chaud et chaleureux.
Bref, une réussite totale.
