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 at IRCAM, the worldwide reference in terms of acoustics and 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 designing 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.

Syos mouthpieces are played by an ever-growing roster of international artists.

Wow !

This Marshall McDonald alto sax mouthpiece is a definite winner. It is very free blowing from top to bottom maintaining the same timber and tone. The volume range is great, and it has good flexibility. It would be a great mouthpiece for all levels of players as it plays easily whether soft or loud, classical or jazz, big hall or small. Definitely consider this mouthpiece for ease of play.

Really loving this mouthpiece, as it is easy to play up and down the horn without undue strain. Exceptional tone quality and intonation. I also am finding the somewhat larger size fits more comfortably than my last mouthpiece, creating less tension in the jaw and overall embouchure.

Like A Favorite Slipper

I’m a casual sax player who used to play out more. Since I don’t practice as much, I didn’t like to fight my old mouthpiece every time I would. From the first play on my SYOS, there was no fight but rather as though it knew me and fit right into my style and strength with no bite-back. Truly amazing mouthpiece!
