Mouthpiece/Lig FS New PPT Mouthpiece: "the Hooligan"

So far just a prototype, but I'm very excited by this It is an alto piece with a large but surprisingly beautiful curve. A baffle reminiscent of the PT tenor. No you can't have one yet, this is just a teaser of the prototype

[EDIT] Passaround: If you would like to take part in the pass around trial, please use the contact form on Taming The Saxophone and choose HOOL0116 from the subject dropdown. Include your postal address and forum name.

By doing this you accept the terms of the pass around:

The rules are simple:

• Damage or loss is paid for by the recipient.
• Use a mouthpiece patch and protect the body from ligature scratches.
• Report any dame as soon as you see it.
• Ideally send on after three days, or at the longest a week. (But do please try with a section of reeds not already used on a different mouthpiece)
• Send on to the next person, insured for £150, (or $200, €200) or uninsured at your own risk. - if it doesn't arrive at the destination, then you pay for it.

A fair review would be appreciated.

Finally a soundclip of the Hooligan:

I'm not sure what I prefer. The keyboard or the saxophone here! 😀

Wow, that's a screamer!

Not for me, just yet... But if I keep to it, perhaps I will get there in a number of years probably. 😳

Thanks for this great demonstration of the Hooligan. Never really popular in France... But I'm not a football fan, so what do I care!

Probably the organ. It's my good friend Geraint Watkins.

Great sound and great playing!

Cheer up then, you look miserable in your avatar.

Thanks!

 

[ProfJames]

I am looking for the perfect set up!

 

[ProfJames]

Just for you Pete............here I am pictured whilst cleaning my mouthpieces..............

Looking just as miserable.

Ha ha ha! No! Pensive........pondering, cogitating. When is the Hooligan going into full production for you? That really is a great sound.....what other feedback have you received?

The Hooligan has taken a long time, we have to hone it and hone it until we have honed its brains out.

Now it is ready. I'll start the passaround soon. But being the Hooligan I may miss the "p" off passaround.

We'll all help you take the P if you give us the OK......

Well, actually, my son who plays the piano has been harassing me to get a keyboard, synthesiser or something he can use to play other sounds than just piano. But I'm not sure what's best at a reasonable budget. He also takes jazz workshop, so I think it would be cool to find something that can emulate the Rhodes and other typical Jazz keyboard sounds.

Yeah, I know I'm obviously adding my own blend in the mix. But since I'm the one financing...

To be honest, I love the sound of the Hooligan, but I'm not yet up to that with my playing.

The keyboard is great (as backup for saxophone).

And the Hooligan will probably arrive in the high plains just when I decide to have major dental work done, which is approaching faster than I like.

Prof, you look as though you are pondering buying a round for the house, as you have been drinking free all night, and it's your turn.

The organ is a Logic plugin.

Sorry, Prof. I had a senior moment and forgot who I was dealing with.

This has my eye.

It does all you mentioned plus great Hammond with Leslie

Why can't you make one in pruple I really fancy a pruple mpc

Just listened to the sound clip,thought it was great but unfortunately not sure if I'm getting the true sound at the mo re my thread hearing aids, my own playing sounds most perculiar but listening to the radio sounds ok to me, must get this sorted.

I'm very interested in acquiring one sounds the business to me
