I couldn’t be happier with my experience with SYOS.

This was not my first SYOS mouthpiece – for years I played a CLB, which is an excellent mouthpiece, although I eventually realized I couldn’t quite tame the brightness in the upper register. Still, it served me well.

This time I returned to SYOS to try what truly sets them apart: Shape Your Own Sound – the chance to design a mouthpiece tailored to my personal preferences.

Once again, the whole experience has been outstanding. Not only are the prototypes of excellent quality (easy to play with a great sound), but the customer support is equally impressive. I was assisted by Kim, who was always attentive, quick to listen to my feedback, and ready to propose solutions. Communication is essential in this process, and SYOS really delivers.

After about a month of playing and comparing several prototypes, I believe I’ve finally found exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you, SYOS!

Dear Staff at SYOS,
I am very pleased with my phantom blue 6 star, 2 and 2 SYOS Custom mouthpiece, for tenor saxophone. Ben Webster had a 2 and 2 set up with a 9 top opening? He played on a pre-war metal Otto Link mouthpiece. I don't sound like Ben Webster, but I am very pleased with how I sound. My set up is; the SYOS mouthpiece above with a Vandoren Juno 2 reed on a Yanagisawa T500 tenor saxophone. Six star with 2 and 2 was a good guess!
Many thanks to all the staff at SYOS who were involved in manufacturing my SYOS mouthpiece.
Yours faithfully,
Adrian Hamlyn Dennis

This mouthpiece is great! I’d like a bit more free-blowing but I love the edge and power it gives me. I think once I figure out the reed combination I need to use, it’ll be perfect.

Tellement heureux après la réception et le test de mon bec. Le bonheur absolu même si j’étais perplexe par rapport à la configuration que j’ai proposé mais c’est terrible de jouer avec bonheur et comme on se l’imaginait. Un vrai régal et je pense même passer le cap de m’en laisser faire un plus tard pour ma clarinette basse. Incroyable j’adore

I’ve tried all the big name mouthpieces, even the very expensive ones, and the SYOS custom blows all of them away. You don’t need a metal or hard rubber mouthpiece to sound great. This piece along with a good horn like I have will step up your sound for sure.
