WHAT IS SYOS?

THE GAME CHANGER

Syos stands for Shape Your Own Sound. The technology and the science behind our saxophone and clarinet mouthpieces come from years of research in acoustics at Ircam, the worldwide reference in terms of sound technologies .

The meeting between Pauline, PhD in acoustics, and Maxime, PhD in auditory perception, started the creation and development of a new and original way of crafting instruments.

Using proprietary material SCAL3D we craft mouthpieces with the highest degree of precision, with improved resistance and durability and the largest choice of chamber geometries, baffle types and colors on the market.

Made in France, Syos mouthpieces are played by an ever-growing roster of artists worldwide.

Le bec de mes rêves se matérialise enfin !

Après des décennies de recherche pour trouver la meilleure option sur le marché, la proposition de SYOS me permet de concrétiser sans compromis le son que j'entends à l'intérieur de moi. L'équipe de sound shaping a su traduire mes demandes atypiques en itérations successives qui convergent rapidement vers le bec correspondant à ma morphologie et à mon style de jeu. C'est très satisfaisant !

Bec

Bonjour il est difficile pour un amateurs d expliquer si un bec doit être ouvert fermer etc etc c est pour cela que j ai choisi ce mode de fabrication du bec par rapport à moi et mon saxophone vintage. Juste un petit bémol j aurais aimer profiter de l offre du mois de septembre à quelque jours de ma commande sur la ligature bg .cordialement

Great sound

Great mouthpiece. I had to find another ligature though. This mp really projects my sound!

Love the mouthpiece! It definitely puts out what I put into it. It's also very easy to play.

Not yet!

My review is on hold until I return to the US in December. As I was headed to Paris, my alto mouthpieces were headed to Flossmoor Illinois and the yet untried new sax. I will let SYOS know as soon as I return to experience the mouthpiece. U til then I will continue to enjoy the SYOS green soprano here in Paris.
