A few years ago, Dan Forshaw organized a big vote on Youtube. He had 16 different alto mouthpieces from different brands: Vandoren, d'Addario, Selmer, Yamaha, Otto Link, Yanagisawa and Syos. He played all these mouthpieces one by one and made people chose the one they prefered by just hearing the sound. The mouthpieces were hidden so they couldn't know what mouthpiece Dan was playing on each video.
And guess who won?
The Syos Dan Forshaw signature mouthpiece! 😊
I think we can say, we do our job well! Even listeners could hear that was the best fit for Dan.
Here is the video with the results:
And below are the sound samples of the mouthpieces if you want to take the test. Enjoy!
