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.

Customer Reviews
I already play a SYOS, insaneintherain, signature 7 Tenor mouthpiece that I use when playing in a 30+piece orchestra.
I love the sound, power and projection it gives me in that setting.
I wanted a different piece for mellow ballads, solos and practice so I added the Smoky 5.
I expected great things from it, and I was not disappointed.
The darker sound, control and effortless playing through all registers are the experiences I was hoping for in the Smoky, and it delivered it all.
The Smoky makes me want to play more, and more, and more.
I thought I would have to use a stronger reed on the Smoky, like I did on my other SYOS tenor piece, but I was surprised.
I have several different reed strengths and the 1.5 is the perfect match for my Smoky. I kept trying the 1.5 and 2, but the 1.5 just make the sound flow. It just feels, and sounds, right.
So my insaneintherain has a little brother now and both are sea blue.
AWESOME , this mouthpiece has become an extention of who I am allowing my personal characteristics to blend musically.
Hi Mel, thank you for sharing that video! You sound really great on that mouthpiece! And I like what you say about the mp being an extension of who you are :) Enjoy playing on it!
Je suis content de mon bec Syos. J'aime bien la sonorité chaleureuse que j'arrive à en tirer.
Je me demande si 0.5 cm de plus n'assurerait pas une meilleure assise du bec sur le liège du bocal.
I needed a dark mouthpiece that I could control while playing small venues. The Smokey 6 did that for me. I can control the volume as needed. While playing a larger venue I just add a sax microphone. Very satisfied.
J'avais un smoky pour mon soprano, j'ai donc privilégié ce modèle pour mon ténor. Tout comme pour le soprano, j'en suis très satisfait. Il est facile à jouer et puissant tout en conservant les nuances.
