STYLE THAT STANDS OUT

About Syos Originals
Syos Originals mouthpieces are crafted with advanced acoustic design and 3D printing technology. Each model is created to balance ease of play, comfort, and expressiveness, giving you a professional sound that suits every style.
Each Originals model has its own character and fits different musical contexts:
- Smoky: Ideal for warm, round tones in jazz, soul, and classical music, where richness and depth are key.
- Steady: Balanced and versatile, perfect for big band, contemporary jazz, and crossover styles that require both projection and control.
- Spark: Bright and powerful, designed for funk, rock, fusion, and amplified settings, where cutting through the mix really matters.
All Syos mouthpieces are designed and manufactured in Paris, France.
Choosing Your Mouthpiece
Yes. Originals mouthpieces are designed to be easy to play and very comfortable for beginners. They respond easily, help you produce a clean sound, and make it simple to control your tone. At the same time, they’re precise and expressive enough to keep growing with you as you progress, so you won’t need to change mouthpieces right away.
We provide an equivalence chart that lets you compare Syos openings with those of other major brands. You can also use our online tool to find the perfect match for your playing style.
The Originals collection includes three models, each with its own sound identity.
- Smoky: for a warm, dark tone that is rich and round.
- Steady: for a balanced sound with clarity and projection in every register.
- Spark: for a bright, powerful tone that cuts through the mix.
Think about the sound you want to achieve and the musical contexts in which you play. If you are still unsure, you can use our online quiz or ask our team for personalized advice to guide you toward the best choice.
Material and Design
No. The color is purely aesthetic. The sound depends on the internal geometry and acoustic design of the mouthpiece.
All Originals mouthpieces are made from UPSCAL3D, our exclusive material developed by Syos. It has the same density and feel as hard rubber, but without the toxic components used in hard rubber production. UPSCAL3D is completely safe, food-grade, and odor-free, while still offering the same warm, rich sound and long-lasting durability.
