Just reviewed Phil's latest tenor model, the equinox. Includes a sound clip.

As we've just passed the winter and summer solstice, isn't the Equinox a trifle premature?

 

[Benbrittonjazz]

ha! fair enough.

Hey Hey BBJ!

Phil does produce excellent mouthpieces, which I use on both Tenor (Eclipse) and Alto (Aurora and Solstice) for all music apart from more Rock/Funk/Contemporary stuff.

 

[Benbrittonjazz]

Hey Tom! So you're saying the Eclipse doesn't quite cut the snuff for the bright/loud/electric settings?

 

[TomMapfumo]

Hi Ben!

Personally I think it is a very versatile mouthpiece, but would prefer the Saxscape Downtown or Mouthpiece Cafe House Blend for such stuff. I offer no guidance beyond that.

Kind regards
Tom

I have had an Equinox 7* for a while now and really like it - just has a more contemporary tone than the Eclipse - the Link Buster! Have you reviewed the Equinox D or the Isotope yet?

 

[Benbrittonjazz]

Cool, man. I don't think I've played either of those yet. I might have to look into it...

I love my Equinox. It gives me everything I need for blues and rock but can still be tamed down a bit for jazz.


Here are some recordings from a new band I'm playing with called Syzygy Blue.
