If you rub the mouthpiece you will smell the sulfur showing it is hard rubber. Also, there are no telltale signs of oxidation as you would likely see on an early hard rubber mouthpiece. The pitting is also a sign as you would not see this on a high end piece.
@user-kn5rz4fv9q3 ай бұрын
These are excellent mouthpieces. The air flow just feels right and it goes precisely where you want it to go. Lots of room to grow the sound and haven't found the ceiling yet. Thank you Stephan!

When you pay a lot of money for a mouthpiece, especially an Otto Link, you really shouldn’t be to do any of this shit !
@Stephan-Kammerer3 ай бұрын
Ideally not of course. However, these pieces are often inaccurately finished so many find it useful to have their mpc refaced for accuracy.
@mostainless18393 ай бұрын
Nice video and Orca demo. Reg. noticing lig. differences between at home playing against wall , and on the live gig, on stage: Consider the effect different temperatures and humidities has upon the reed. Look at the ligature about last, where it belongs.
@Stephan-Kammerer3 ай бұрын
Yes, humidity and reed placement are definitely factors to take into account, especially when traveling. Altitude can have a big impact as well.
@felipemendozar3 ай бұрын
What ligature is he using? Which ones do you recommend?
@Stephan-Kammerer3 ай бұрын
That's a Selmer 404 ligature. Unfortunately, Selmer stopped making them so they're getting difficult to find. That's my personal preference as well.

Impressive work! But, I have to ask, do you use the hammer to open the tip or to correct a crooked tip without having to completely reshape the baffle?
@Stephan-Kammerer3 ай бұрын
I use it for both. In both cases, I finish refacing with sandpaper. The closer I get with the hammer, the less I have to sand off so it diminished material loss.
@jamesk49934 ай бұрын
Looks and sounds great! What mic do you use, and are you using Logic?
@Stephan-Kammerer3 ай бұрын
I use both Logic and Garageband. Garageband if I just have to capture some sound quickly and don;t have to do too much with it after. The mic is a T47 from Mic Parts. See the next comment for the link. I love this mic.
This is really cool. Does the plating affect the way the mouthpiece plays/ sounds?
@Stephan-Kammerer4 ай бұрын
It is really subtle. When I can tell, silver seems slightly brighter than gold. There is both gold and silver either way I plate it. Because silver doesn't bond directly to the brass, the mouthpiece needs a thin layer of gold first. When I plate with gold, the layers are gold - silver (for strength) - gold. Silver-plated pieces get gold - silver.

Hi Stethan I can't find your mouthpieces here in Italy, so I ask you if you could please send me one for tenor, my opening is normally a 5 or 6 so medium closed, could you suggest a way to try it? I know it's Steve Cole's reference mouthpiece, could you confirm that for me? thank you very much, best regards

Hi. I don't have any retailers in Italy. The closest is Headwind music in the UK. Yes, Steve Cole has an Origin I believe he is still playing. Send me an email via skmouthpieces.com to discuss ways to try it.

Thanks for checking this video out! Yes, a lot has to do with the feel of the mouthpiece both as a player but certainly also as a listener. I think it has to do with how well the player can connect with the sound.

There's another way to do this. Guys like Frank Wells would tap the mouthpiece with the facing facing down (yes, I meant that repetitive word, lol). I have a friend who witnessed this being done. Do it right and it works marvelously. Have to have a flat surface that is strong, like a professional flat block.

This piece hits all the right notes for me. I have a .110. The airflow feels right for me and there's plenty of room to grow the sound. The palm key notes are stable and sweet sounding while the lower end is colorful and ringing. I haven't found any fatiguing aspects of it or any part of the horn where I'm fighting with it. It is comfortable and inviting to play at any energy level. Highest recommendation. Thank you for crafting these!
