Our Artists

After being on a Lawton 8 from the age of 16 and never finding anything else I thought I’d give Syos a go. The entire process was brilliant! I’ve been using my Syos on gigs and sessions — not only is it comfortable to play but if I drop it, chip it, lose it, I can get an identical replacement. This is a first in mouthpiece manufacturing as far as I’m aware. It looks great in grey and it sounds killer.

These mouthpieces give me an even tone throughout the instrument, producing a warm sound and yet when I need they really open up, giving me a wide range of dynamics for the varying musical situations I found myself in.

I can finally hear what I have always wanted to sound like thanks to Syos!

When I first tried a Syos mouthpiece, I approached it with a healthy skepticism as I am not one to frequently change my equipment and was immediately impressed by the tone and response. Syos was great to work with; we tried several adjustments to find the exact sound I was looking for. If you are searching for a new mouthpiece with incredible ease of response and control that can facilitate producing the exact sound you want, I emphatically recommend Syos.

I feel and sound like myself on my SYOS mouthpieces. I can take them on any gig or recording session and trust that they will deliver consistency, response, and flexibility. The best of parts of my other mouthpieces without their drawbacks, at a price I can feel good recommending.

I absolutely love how customizable Syos is! With the many colors to choose from and the various options available, I was able to select a beautiful mouthpiece-ligature combination that showcases my Jamaican colors. I also love the smooth and warm sound it produces!

My Syos mouthpieces allow me to create warm subtle tones as well as bright punchy tones with little effort. They also feel very comfortable to play on, and working with Pauline and her experts has been an amazing experience. It's amazing to have a mouthpiece that fits my vibe and style like a glove.

This mouthpiece helps me express the way I want. It’s not in the way. It’s solid and easy from the lower register to the very high notes. It has a big opening so the air can flow, a warmness and at the same time a distinct bite. I love it!

We looked at different internal designs and wider lays to get a broad but dark jazz tone that could be maintained with lighter reed combinations which help with playing multiple instruments in rapid succession. My Syos have quick response and excellent intonation across the full range and especially at the top where a lighter reed is more of an issue. They sing at the top and hold the dark sound even down to a 2 strength reed. Tonal connection between the soprano and tenor was also important so that I can maintain my sound while changing between horns.
