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.

Will you be selling the prototypes?

 

[Nick Wyver]

Hmm...
I see no step baffle.

Oh, I forgot. You said it was like the tenor one.

Indeed, step baffles? whatever next?

Will you be selling the prototypes?

Maybe

The purple alto just HAS to blow sweeter than the white! Or maybe I need to take sandpaper to the white, but where? Or dye it purple, or ...babble, babble.

Pete can i get one in blue and white stripes complete with scarf,rattle and knuckleduster.

Maybe the lack of a stepped baffle means it's a classical piece under a false name😉.

 

[Pete Thomas]

Anybody want to try one? I'll add it to the alto passaround

Too bad the High Plains is way, way across the water. I'll settle for reading the ratings.

I think Pete said there was a US passaround as well.

 

[Alc.]

Thanks, Kev. I'll search it out.

 

[Alc.]

Found it, put in my request.

I'm about to start the pass around, it will begin in the US so Al is in luck, first on the list.

The pass around model is a prototype that is the same as the production except it is slightly smaller outside bore, you may need a bit of a shim underneath a normal alto ligature. Also the shank bore is on the large side of normal, so maybe you'll a bit of paper if your cork is very compressed.

So Al, please send me your address. Anyone else please sign up (see first post of this thread for details)
