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 UPSCAL3D 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.

c-melody mouthpiece

Bonjour Syos,

Après une longue hésitation, j’ai finalement commandé en ligne un bec pour mon C-melody chez Syos.
À la réception, j’avais quelques doutes quant à sa compatibilité avec mon Conn C-melody de 1953.
Après confirmation qu’il s’agissait bien d’une version C-melody, j’ai décidé de l’essayer.

Après 5 sessions de 30 minutes de jeu en live dans la rue, je suis complètement bluffé.
Le bec joue de façon incroyable — un grand bravo à Syos !

Avec mes salutations musicales,
Hans Rutjes, alias Di Stephano

Excellent

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with SYOS.

This was not my first SYOS mouthpiece – for years I played a CLB, which is an excellent mouthpiece, although I eventually realized I couldn’t quite tame the brightness in the upper register. Still, it served me well.

This time I returned to SYOS to try what truly sets them apart: Shape Your Own Sound – the chance to design a mouthpiece tailored to my personal preferences.

Once again, the whole experience has been outstanding. Not only are the prototypes of excellent quality (easy to play with a great sound), but the customer support is equally impressive. I was assisted by Kim, who was always attentive, quick to listen to my feedback, and ready to propose solutions. Communication is essential in this process, and SYOS really delivers.

After about a month of playing and comparing several prototypes, I believe I’ve finally found exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you, SYOS!

Almost Disappointed

I purchased a custom mouthpiece about a month ago. I was having a hard time with it until I realized my saxophone required some serious repair, which I have now acquired. Now, I am enjoying a very satisfying piece of equipment. It turns out I was able to pick the exact specs I was looking for. The mouthpiece is easy to play and I get the sound I was expecting. Now that my sax has been repaired, I am getting great results with the Syos Steady also, more than before. Syos makes a great product, and I highly recommend these mouthpieces.

M
Miles

Terrible product, arrived unfinished and with damage. Tried to talk to customer service and after some time they ghosted me.

Dear Miles,
I'm Pauline, the CEO of Syos. I'm sorry the mouthpiece was not a good fit for you. I checked and our customer support replied all the emails we have received from you, so maybe one was lost in the spam? Can you send you request again please?
Kind regards

The mouthpiece is good

The mouthpiece is good, I am happy with it. I hasn’t made a huge difference to my playing, because I am still a novice.

Je me suis jeté à l'eau !

Client depuis plusieurs années chez Syos (j'ai quand même eu 3 becs + 2 freaks), je ne me considérais pas comme assez expert pour un bec sur mesure ...
Et puis cette année, pour commencer ma retraite en beauté, j'ai tenté le coup et je me suis offert le sur-mesure !
Et je ne regrette pas "l'aventure" :
- la possibilité de jouer pendant plusieurs jours, dans son environnement habituel, change la donne,
- le dialogue instauré avec Maxime est très enrichissant,
- on se sent en confiance, sans pression aucune,
- et le choix final se fait vraiment entre plusieurs becs différents que l'on a eu le temps de tester entre eux (dans mon cas personnel ça a pris quand même 1 mois !)
Et en plus il est très beau en Artic White avec un design Wind !
Merci à toute l'équipe.

Bec saxo ténor modèle "Mickael WILBUR"

Loving the sound

I compared my old mouthpiece to the first Syos mouthpiece I purchased, the Spark, and man what a difference in a good way. My sound was fuller, and it brought a measure of ease, to playing my tenor horn. I have since purchased two additional Tenor Syos mouthpieces, and they have both moved me closer to the sound in my head, I am searching for….I still play them all, and enjoy the sound I hear. I have a brother (a studio base musician) and he says “ man you should join me in a session, your sound is better than some of tenor horn musicians we use from time to time”. ☺️

Like all horn players, I was and still am in search of a better sound on my horn, and these Syos mouth pieces have moved me closer than ever, toward that sound. I absolutely love, enjoy and will continue playing them. You should give them a try, I promise you will not be disappointed.
From an old timer, who started way late in life, playing and enjoying the beautiful sound of the Tenor horn.👨🏼‍🦳

Oh yea one more extremely important item I almost forgot…Their tech and customer service is second to none…in fact they initiated and offered the best customer service I have experienced, in all my online and in store purchases…
Thank you Syos, I am most grateful for your dedication , and willingness, to do your absolute best to help, please, and satisfy your clients !!!

My SYOS Custom mouthpiece

Dear Staff at SYOS,
I am very pleased with my phantom blue 6 star, 2 and 2 SYOS Custom mouthpiece, for tenor saxophone. Ben Webster had a 2 and 2 set up with a 9 top opening? He played on a pre-war metal Otto Link mouthpiece. I don't sound like Ben Webster, but I am very pleased with how I sound. My set up is; the SYOS mouthpiece above with a Vandoren Juno 2 reed on a Yanagisawa T500 tenor saxophone. Six star with 2 and 2 was a good guess!
Many thanks to all the staff at SYOS who were involved in manufacturing my SYOS mouthpiece.
Yours faithfully,
Adrian Hamlyn Dennis

This mouthpiece is great!

This mouthpiece is great! I’d like a bit more free-blowing but I love the edge and power it gives me. I think once I figure out the reed combination I need to use, it’ll be perfect.

Ne convient pas

Après plusieurs modifications de becs , les becs ne me conviennent pas, dommage car le sav était à mon écoute pour faire les meilleurs modifications ! Le son du bec était bien mais assez compliqué à jouer les sons ne sortaient pas naturellement. C’est vraiment dommage car le reste des services est au top!

Sylvain Fumel
Invraisemblable

Tellement heureux après la réception et le test de mon bec. Le bonheur absolu même si j’étais perplexe par rapport à la configuration que j’ai proposé mais c’est terrible de jouer avec bonheur et comme on se l’imaginait. Un vrai régal et je pense même passer le cap de m’en laisser faire un plus tard pour ma clarinette basse. Incroyable j’adore

Best mouthpiece ever

I’ve tried all the big name mouthpieces, even the very expensive ones, and the SYOS custom blows all of them away. You don’t need a metal or hard rubber mouthpiece to sound great. This piece along with a good horn like I have will step up your sound for sure.

Stéphane Mercier

Mon bec Syos pour mon saxophone C Melody est une merveille. Il offre une belle projection, avec une homogénéité, châleur et facilité en même temps. Je recommande Syos à quiconque est à la recherche d'un bec sur mesure.

Great mouthpiece

I used to play a 7 Otto Link Tone edge. I was quite satisfied with it but there were couple of things I was missing. When I ordered the Syos custom mouthpiece I described what I liked and what I was missing in my mouthpiece. After I got the first Syos mouthpiece it took very little to come to the point to have a mouthpiece that is as close as possible to what I needed. At the end I had two Syos mouthpieces that were so different yet so close to what I wanted. It took me a while to choose which one to keep. The one I kept has a warm dark sound exactly as I wanted. At the same time it gives me good projection and I can push it when needed. It definitely has a character and a good color in its sound. As a bonus it is very free blowing. I am quite satisfied with what I got.

Y a t’il une solution à ce pb ?

Bonjour Philippe, merci pour votre retour. Le bec est imprimé en 3D, ce qui implique un état de surface qui n'est pas totalement lisse, en effet. Avez vous essayé avec une anche en roseau?
Quel type de ligature utilisez vous?

Excellent, juste un tout petit regret, j'aurais dû prendre une ouverture très légèrement supérieure mais ça n'est pas de votre faute bien évidemment.
Cependant, il correspond parfaitement à ce que je recherchais. Merci 😉
