Here is a quick demo of my latest "best new toy" and it is (yet another) Guardala original piece.
this is THE model I have been aspiring to get and these do not surface so often as they are generally keepers when players get them....
it has been 1 heck of a (expensive) journey and search to get a beauty like this, but very worth it i feel.
1st was my laser MB2 which was the stepping stone that i think of it as
next was the Super king original and that baby was a beast to play, i loved it, the loudest piece ever but to me was all fire but not so much core
then came the studio original that was nice but a bit too twee for me,
then the Traditional model and that was much more like what i was wanting, power and thicker tone,
THEN came this MB1 up for grabs, so i jumped at it, and how happy i am, it has the power to open up similar to the super king, not as much but enough, also has a thicker tone core AND edge than the traditional model..
To say i am happy is an understatement as to me this IS the end of my tenor mouthpiece quest, and this actual mouthpiece has been played on the tenor sax of the player it is named after so it is a double bonus for me and boy it has been fun ride to get here....
the demo is more tranquil to show the tone and flexibility of the mouthpiece and is also a thread from SOTW this month
all comments are welcome!
