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.

Enthousiaste ! Bravo Syos !

Grand débutant, je cherchais avant tout un bec avec une émission facile, facile à contrôler, en un mot facile à jouer et confortable. Je suis totalement comblé ! Avec l’ouverture la plus petite (5), c’est le jour et la nuit par rapport à mon bec Selmer Prologue, pourtant destiné aux débutants ! Le travail est devenu un plaisir et non plus une quasi souffrance. Ce bec est un véritable « facilitateur » et permet enfin de se concentrer totalement sur la partition.
Au premier essai, je l’ai presque trouvé étonnamment trop puissant par rapport à ce qu’indique le site (3,3) puis j’ai compris qu’il est tellement facile que je soufflait simplement trop fort !
Ensuite, je l’ai mieux apprivoisé et toutes ses qualités sont ressorties : comme annoncé, il est bien très mat (comme je le souhaitais), et on peut en faire ce qu’on veut, jouer « feutré » ou plus fort. Et quelle homogénéité ! Les aigus sortent également très facilement !
Enfin, la ligature s’insère tellement facilement !
Bravo et merci à toute l’équipe de Syos !

Sarah Dunbar signature mouthpiece

A very good conservative mouthpiece if you want a smooth "classical" sound without too much projection. Of course a great deal dpends on your own personal sound.

Un peu déçu du son

Bec très facile à jouer et confortable.
Le son est bien mat comme indiqué.
Néanmoins il y a toujours un bruit de souffle dans mon son quand je joue. Le son n'est pas si rond que je le pensais pour un bec classique.
Je suis revenu sur mon bec Selmer 180 S90 avec lequel je trouve le son plus joli.
