CHARACTERISTICS
This mouthpiece has a medium step baffle and a small chamber. This is a mouthpiece that is really easy to play, it’s really powerful when you push it but it can also be warm when playing with a more relaxed embouchure. It has a nice brightness to it.
Take the "A" mouthpiece
This mouthpiece, first created in 2018, was a special design for an artist. It has been our best-seller for 3 years, until we discontinued it.
In order to celebrate our new “Iconic” collection, we released this great model again, under the “Take the A mouthpiece” name.
The “Iconic” is a collection of very special mouthpieces, some of them made of very special materials, so we chose to name them after iconics jazz standards.
Take the “A” mouthpiece is a reference to the jazz standard “Take the A train” of course but it also means you will get the “A” player in your hand, the one that excels at its job and will take you even further in your saxophone playing. So we think it's a perfect name for this mouthpiece, which we've had nothing but great feedback from over the years!

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.
Customer Reviews
Since the very first moment I noticed that I had a huge mouthpice!!
That was very esay to play, and spark as I expected.
So I am verry Happy with It, and for sure It will be my first mouthpice in the incoming years.
Congratulations to syos!!
I bought this mouthpiece in January 2021 (it was called something different back then) and was immediately impressed. I like a pretty wide opening and selected the 8*. I was looking for a mouthpice that would work well both for my bigband work, and for my pop / latin band work. This was to replace my Berg Larson steel 110 and Ponzol steel classic 105 mouthpieces. I have used it continuously (and I play almost every day) and find that flexibility and range of volumes I can produce with it are exceptional. I can push it really hard and get a full bright sound that raises above the band for solo work, and it is easy to play at softer levels and blend with the section without losing tonal quality throughout the entire range. I did however have to relearn how to play altissimo which took some getting used to hitting some of them consistently. Anyway, after 5 years of playing I haven't come across a mouthpiece I would be happier with, and it shows no signs of wear. Which makes me one happy customer.
So happy to have it easy to play , 100%recomendable
Pour mon ténor acquis il y a six mois j'ai longtemps cherché un bec typé jazz/funk équilibré mais assez brillant, capable de donner de la puissance, souple et agréable à jouer afin de remplacer celui qu'on m'avait fourni avec le sax, un vandoren T55, plutôt bien fait mais pas vraiment adapté. J'ai joué aussi quelques mois deux becs prêtés, un Bari, et un ESM qui m'a bien plu.
Le bec Syos TaketheA est ressorti des différentes recherches et conseils (j'ai beaucoup apprécié la pédagogie et les outils proposés par la marque, de même que les conseils par mail), et je peux dire que je n'ai pas regretté ce choix.
Comme promis sur les spécifications ce n'est pas un bec très brillant mais assez équilibré, qui répond bien, et permet une grande palette de timbres et de puissance. J'en fait sans hésitation mon bec de tous les jours et toutes les prestations. Probablement que j'élargirai aussi mon équipement avec un ou deux autres très différent, mais celui ci me convient parfaitement. J'ai fait quelques tests à l'aveugle, et clairement il ressort du lot.
A savoir, ça peut être utile de choisir une ouverture au dessus ce celle habituellement pratiquée. En 8 le Take the A me donne effectivement la sensation d'un 7 d'une autre marque. Merci les conseils par mail.
I normally don't write reviews about products but long story short ... This product has transformed my sound and I'M A BEGINNER. This mouthpiece makes it so easy to get a sound out as well as controlled sound. Paired with a synthetic reed , chiefs kiss.
