Before Syos: I tell you about the genesis of the project

Ten years. A whole decade since a pile of confusing saxophone parts on my desk in Montreal sparked a wild idea. It was supposed to be a simple post-doc studying acoustics, but then the musicians came in, and everything changed. They played my weird, 3D-printed mouthpieces, their eyes glowing, and suddenly I wasn't just studying sound – I was on the verge of creating something that could revolutionize the way an entire instrument feels. Want to know how a chance encounter with a jazz pianist and a whole lot of coffee turned into a company that's putting custom-made mouthpieces in the hands of saxophonists around the world? Buckle up, because this is the story of Syos.
