Alex Simu

For a saxophone or clarinet player having the ideal mouthpieces it is a life time quest. Syos mouthpieces changed that and with the help of 3D printing technology and high knowledge of acoustics they were able to create a mouthpiece which has all the technical qualities that enable me to express and play my instrument as I wish to, without having to compensate for the mouthpiece. I am convinced that Syos have set a turning point in the production of mouthpieces, they are not producing a couple of models they are producing my own model, your own model and exactly what is that the musician wishes to play on.
