Description

Gary Sugal Tenor Professional Metal Mouthpiece, Kirk Whalum
Designed and manufactured specifically for Kirk Whalum a number of years ago. These models are considered the number one mouthpiece in the world. The overall dynamics, resonance, and response created by using pure copper material for the body make this the ideal choice and for some the "holy grail" of mouthpieces for contemporary recording artist.
Sparkling blue-green bite guard plus the matching blue-green sparkle on the Compression channel ligature. The matching ligature is a rare opportunity.
1.  It's the most comfortable metal mouthpiece to play (you'll notice this
right away, it's wider and more ergonomic)
2.  Whereas some metal pieces are harsh in the upper register, the Sugal has a mellow and transparent tone.
3.  The low register is smooth and round.
4.  Each mouthpiece is carefully hand-lathed by a former jeweler, thus the
detail and aesthetic nuance make each one a work of art.
5.  The tone is even from the top to the bottom of the horn.
One of the most legendary tenor sax mouthpieces in the world! This mouthpiece was made from 1 inch solid copper bar stock. This is an ideal mouthpiece for any traditional player seeking a centered, warm, dark tone.
The intonation on this mouthpiece is deadly accurate and the mouthpiece is extremely versatile.
It is the ideal choice for players seeking a powerful cutting, huge presence, jazz styled mouthpiece. It has spontaneous articulation resonates without lag and demonstrates exceptional evenness flow into every register of the horn.
