With ten doubles in rotation, I'd hafta look! Some are custom made with no maker logo though. I really buy into trying the mouthpiece out before I buy one.
Sorry, never heard of the Syos mouthpieces. How do they sound to you?
It’s a company in Paris, France who make 3D clarinet & saxophone from coloured plastic. There are many famous players using them who aren’t getting paid to endorse them.
I have been intrigued with them and wished I’d purchased one from them since they guarantee satisfaction. You can even get custom made mouthpieces.
Anyway. I made the mistake of purchased the FREAKS which are basically their mistakes as they perfect their styles. The sale was 2 mouthpieces with a ligature for £99 so I got 2 mouthpieces for my soprano and 2 for my alto.
The deal is that you can pick your chamber preference but the colour and style is their choice. Apparently the mistakes are only cosmetic and not functionally but I actually disagree.
Some of the plastic is so rough that the reed doesn’t fit flush. This itself causes less.
Another big criticism is that they only give you one ligature with 2 mouthpieces.
If one mouthpiece is longer or fatter than the other, the ligature won’t fit right. These are plastic and if it sits up to high, then there isn’t even space for the reed to vibrate probably which means the player needlessly strains them self and their tone would be far too sharp.
The tips of the soprano mouthpieces aren’t smooth at all. The tips are very rough but I’ll see what they say.
Maybe it’s personal preference but I prefer a hard, very smooth mouthpiece that’s finely crafted with a leather ligature that’s very flexible.
Shamefully I was seduced by the ultra cool
colours. I wanted a pretty fuchsia pink one. Yes it’s a tad vain. Lol
