The Johannes Gerber VIBRA MASTER™ tenor saxophone mouthpiece
is a favorite among tenor saxophonists for good reason. With the Vibra Master™, we eliminated the problems you are likely to encounter when searching for the ultimate vintage mouthpiece from the 1960's.
Back in the day, mouthpieces were finished at the factory by different craftsmen and tooling changes were made from time to time, making it virtually impossible to find two vintage mouthpieces that are alike. Besides, while some truly are good players, others are not, and many have been modified or worked on since. Finding the perfect vintage mouthpiece could be a real challenge, not to mention the financial implications or disappointment.
The conception of the Vibra Master
™
was a journey - every effort was made to create a mouthpiece that plays with the true vintage character saxophonists expect to experience. The medium-large chamber is finished beautifully with concave side walls and a distinctive Florida era crescent-shaped baffle.
The sound can be characterized as fat, pretty, and singing. It is an open sound with a noticeable ‘high frequency ring’, coloring the darker overall sound. Overall, it has a complex character, allowing unsurpassed freedom of expression, articulation, balance and control.

If you are still in the process of deciding between the Vibra Master
™
and Vibra Master X
™
, here's a tip: in general, many saxophonists prefer the Vibra Master
™
for it's broader and darker sound. Saxophonists who prefer a traditional sound with more brightness and punch, and who have a liking for the vintage mouthpieces from the 'Early Babbitt' (1970's) era, love the Vibra Master X™.
