My goal was to make a really focused, resonant 3-D tenor piece with lots of power available, but one that could also get very quiet and always keep that resonant tone. Mission accomplished! Paul said it’s almost like playing a great vintage metal Link because of the focus, but with a bigger sound. Very focused and very in tune. $249 for my proprietary original octagon chamber mouthpiece design, that is hand finished by Brian Powell and Erik Greiffenhagen! It gets no better.!!! Come to my 10MFAN website and read about these and get yourself a beautiful gift. I also have an incredible alto mouthpiece that I just released. There will be many more to come with this Octagon Series!
