Mouthpiece/Lig FS Drake Pete Christlieb Tenor Mouthpiece 9 Tip

Bought direct from Drake as there were none in the UK. Liked it a lot, but too open. Couldn’t return and too expensive to just buy the 8 or 7 tip.

New price sax.co.uk: £349

Drake say:

This model is based on the very same “Bullet Chamber” design that Pete Christleib has played for over 50 years. The specially calibrated baffle is contoured to create an “aliveness” to the sound that is even through all the registers. The addition of the long silver plated banding on the shank helps to focus the core vibrational frequencies and generates greater projection.

“For a guy who has played on the same mouthpiece for 54 years, my new Aaron Drake recreation is incredibly accurate. The .120” is my favorite.”
Pete Christlieb

Includes a Drake Quad Point Ligature.

Tip is 0.120”

Price (as new): £300

I have one of these in the same tip opening, it is a fantastic mouthpiece. I just completed a funk saxophone weekend using it, and it performed really well. Rovner ligatures for metal alto or hard rubber soprano mouthpieces are a good fit.

Best of luck with the sale.

I was/am really impressed with it. Build quality great. Interesting the metal mouthpiece shape/dimensions in a rubber mouthpiece.
If I solely played tenor and gigged a lot it would be a fit, but it's too big for me as a (more usual) smaller instrument player.
