Coming from being a classical clarinetist, I was looking for a mouthpiece that helped me with altissimo and to have a more direct "jazz" tone without it becoming bright for a musical tour. I also needed something easy to play that I could swap to from flute and clarinet.

I initially tried out every mouthpiece I could get my hands on and begrudgingly ended up loving the brightly coloured SYOS mouthpieces (yellow is not my colour). The Smoky was amazing (and I am going to get one for alto next) but i wanted something with a bit more punch. I did the quiz numerous times on the website and ended up with this model. I went to Lorenzos videos and have become such a fan of his playing that I took the risk and ordered this model in 6* opening.
I am absolutely in love with it. It has made playing Tenor, which is usually a tough double for me, easy and FUN to play! This mouthpiece speaks so easily and has helped me with those super high notes. I never thought I'd have to hit high D's every night, I thought it would be impossible for me.

In summary, this mouthpiece has delivered over and above what I expected. Talking about delivery, it arrived sooner than expected and had zero issues getting to me.
Thanks so much! I'm now a Syos convert.

I bought the 8 tip opening. My previous mouthpiece was an 8*, which I found at times just a little bit too much as I typically practice only about 4 or 5 hours per week.
The syos turned out to be everything I hoped it would be. I wanted a quieter mouthpiece with a rich warm sound and this syos mouthpiece fulfilled that. Altissimo notes are easier to hit reliably but the very low notes (B and B flat) are a bit harder to get, but I think that's down to the reed - I'm using a vandoren java 2.5. When I put a Rico jazz select on it the low come easily, but I prefer the sound with the vandoren java. A BG ligature and cap fits nicely.
I must also mention that because my postal address is not particularly reliable, the postal service failed to deliver the mouthpiece and it was returned to syos. When I realised what had happened, I emailed syos and without waiting for the first mouthpiece to reach them, Kim immediately sent out a second mouthpiece, which I received. Excellent customer service. Thanks Kim.
All that now remains is to order one for my alto.

Depuis quelques mois je me suis mis au ténor (Yamaha YTS 280) bec Yamaha 4C et Selmer S 80 C* sans être satisfait des résultats.
Je me suis décidé à commander un bec Syios Signature Lorenzo Ferrero 5*, grosse amélioration du son mais pas encore satisfait retour du bec et commande du bec original Smoky 6 toujours pas satisfait retour du bec et remplacement par un signature Lorrenzo Ferrero 5 et là le miracle le son, la facilité sur toute la tessiture du sax.
Merci à Syos et n’hésiter pas à essayer plusieurs becs avec des géométries différentes afin d’avoir un bec qui réponde à vos souhaits.

Lots of flexibility. Wonderful for small group jazz, dark and smooth. Think Dexter Gordon, not Michael Brecker. I need a Spark for big band or funk.

I’m loving this mouthpiece! I’ve been complimented on my sound with other mouthpieces, but this one makes my sound even better and richer.

Slightly nervous about ordering this mouthpiece, especially as I was being advised by ChatGPT! I was using an Otto Link Tone master which I felt was not quite right for me. The SYOS Lorenzo Ferrero with Java Red reed work a treat. Projects and can be subtle, hits low notes easily. Very happy!

Je n'ai guère eu le temps de tester longuement, un contre temps imprévu....mais juste assez pour le trouver facile d'émission dans le doux comme dans le puissant, ce qui est agréanle, malheureusement je le trouve assez plat et sans caractère, manque de grain.

I tried different syos mouthpieces.
With the signature Lorenzo Ferrero i found my perfect mouthpiece with a warm tone an a absolut easy to play mouthpiece.
I have got a mouthpiece that touches me more from the sound, but its harder to control. i am really happy with my syos.
