Pierre-Antoine Badaroux - Syos

Pierre-Antoine Badaroux

Too often, the musician instruments makers and the musicians belong to distant worlds, which turns opaque for one, the practice of the other. Working with Pauline in implementing the production of an “ideal” sound is an very enriching, fun and inspiring experience. What offers Syos, except for the wonderful opportunity of a custom-made mouthpiece, is a fascinating process of exchange, definition, experiment, adjustment, which accompanies the building of the mouthpiece and turns it into a very privileged moment for every musician.
