I am lucky enough to have the 1st batch of the New LAW ALTO mouthpiece's Lawrie Waldron has been working on for some time.There is 3 model's up to now which match along side the 3 Tenor model's.They come in a Bullet chamber piece,a rollover baffle large chamber piece,and a high baffle piece.Tip,rail's and table are perfect and they are solid mouthpiece's with some weight.As with all LAW'S i have tryed and own they are very free blowing and have lot's of projection and juice.You can see these were made with passion and these are bespoke tailormade work's of art.All 3 Alto model's i am trying are a size 6*(80) and all blow very easy.My thought's on sound,response etc are.
1. MCB 6* Medium chamber bright Alto; This baby sing's,would make a fantastic lead alto mp.Very sweet sounding,remind's me of Cannonball Adderley sound.Altissimo is superb,can rock the house if need be and can be very modern when pushed.It is very rich in overtone's,clear,load's of presence.A great all rounder.This piece would please a wide choice of player as it's so versitile and so easy on your chop's and very good fun to play.Projection is great and will cut through many a loud Guitar player.
2.LCD 6* Large chamer dark Alto; This piece has a big open chamber with long concaved wall's and a slight rollover baffle that remind's me of that Meyer sound scape.For a metal alto mp this gem has so much warmth and depth.If your wanting that 1950's Jazz sound this i the 1 and i can see lot's of people loving this for it's dark,sexy tone's.People who only like Hard Rubber mp's should check this out as it's so full and again projection is fantastic with a .touch of edge if needed.Many metal Alto mp's are harsh but i found this so nice for that yesteryear Paul Desmond type sound and enjoyed it alot.Again it's range is great,big fat bottom and again you can get right up there with know prob's.
3.A D BUZZER 6* Alto.This is a high baffle piece,1 step baffle going into a largish chamber,concaved wall's that's the best funk mp i,ve ever tryed.You would think by just looking at the baffle as with the Tenor Buzzer that it would be shrill,scary bright as say a Dukoff but how wrong you will be.A great focused fat sounding tone with load's of pop in the note's.Middle D,E.F,F$ sound the best i,ve heard and this piece on alto is outstanding for my need's and what i hear in my head when i search for an alto sound.Palm key's have a nice rounded sound and altissimo to die for.This piece remind's of a Candy Dulfer,Dave Sanborn kind of sound but more Candy's tone which i find warmer.Maceo Parker and you get my drift,i hope.I have been waiting awhile for the LAW Alto mp's to come about and it was worth the wait.I liked all 3 model's and that's why i own the 3 Tenor model's as they are all fantastic and suit me for all the style's i play.The alto Buzzer is a cracking piece and i've ordered mine.
