César Vidal

I’ve been playing on the SYOS Steady 6 mouthpiece for quite some time now, and I truly feel that my sound has improved a lot. I love the flexibility of the Steady and how comfortable it feels in every situation. It has helped me develop and refine many aspects of my sonic identity. Endless thanks to the entire SYOS team for their impressive research work and dedication, which really shows in what they do.
