L’embouchure est facile à jouer dans tous les registres, y compris l’altissimo, et le son est plein et brillant. Elle complète ma famille d’embouchures Syos avec une autre merveilleuse couleur sonore.

The best mouthpiece I've ever used.

Molto bello
Suono brillante e potente
Uso una legere american cut 1,75

I tried so many mouthpieces, but I always came back to my old Selmer Metal C. The Parthenopem is the first one, that gives me the clarity of the old Selmer and then the bit of more warmth that I hoped to find.

So glad to finally find a mpc. that responds in a full bodied sound in al the rages including the altissimo . I hd been using a variety of metal mpcs ( Dukoff and Guardala). on my alto for years and they are too thin and bright sounding. I am usually blowing away my vocalists with those metal mpcs.. Since switching to the Parthenope 8* alto mpc. my playing now brings a smile to their faces. I am also currently using this mpc. in the studio to record my original Contemporary jazz album produced by Lou G. of Paula Atherton fame.. I want to thank my friend Gabi Rose for recommending this mpc. even though I use an 8* instead of 7*. Happy to be playing more alto again since I mainly play tenor. Thank you!

My Parthenope 8* mouthpiece has giving me the tone and ease of playing that I was looking for on my gigs and in the recording studio. I am currently using it on my new recording of contemporary jazz originals produced by Lou G. ( Paula Atherton's spouse). It responses well in all registers of the horn including the altissimo range. This mouthpiece was recommended to me by my friend Gabi Rose. I also use Syos #3 reeds and a Syos ligature . Finally no more ear piercing high end like from my metal mpouthpieces!

This mouthpiece lives up to what it reports to do. Gives a nice bright punchy sound on the higher register but also the low notes came out easily. Well worth having in your bag.

Is currently my most direct mouthpiece on the alto - I'm still researching - the path length, the baffle...
