I just bought a near-mint SBA capable of producing this tone. Beautiful horn!

[@danielegugliotta8237]

Fantastico. Paul desmond è il mio idolo, anche io cerco di emularlo quando suono

[@quattrosaxoni3625]

Very nice Erik-very PD and one of my favourite tunes…..Just to say I’m very pleased with my Dry Martini 4-18 and it gets the PD sound although I need to put more time into it!Best regards.

[@elilovis]

[@brianbrown4211]

I presume you made this Dry Martini mouthpiece under the MORGAN name. Sounds superb, thank you.

[@mpcguy]

Yes indeed.

[@ninjalightning2631]

So it's a Morgan?

[@mpcguy]

@ninjalightning2631 the "dry martini " is made by Morganmouthpieces.com Designed by me. I've been primarily responsible for production and design at Morgan since Ralph passed in 2007. Dave and Teresa Hoskins are the business owners and responsible for sales and marketing.

[@eqt.studios]

maaaan. nice. do you have any tips/ steps to nail this sound more and more like you did? I found out the soft attack in general and the subtone are important techniques

[@eqt.studios]

oh and what reverb did you use? any tips on that?

[@mpcguy]

You can check the mouthpiece out at Morganmouthpieces.com. "Dry martini " As for reverb, I was playing the backing track and horn through a Roland street cube, with a sennhiser clip on mic with both reverb and a little delay.

[@paulgentile1024]

shaken not stirred...🍸🍹

[@ninjalightning2631]

I'm about to purchase is this 4-18 also with hard Reed ? Can you get the same tone out of 18-6 softer Reed ?

[@mpcguy]

Similar but for me part of the magic is the hard reed and close tip. You might consider a 5 tip and 3 reed.

[@ninjalightning2631]

Thank you

[@ondvl]

desmond's missing brother

[@gonikassif8527]

You really do sound like him!! If I may ask, what mouthpiece are you using?

[@mpcguy]

A mouthpiece of my own design. Modeled after a Gregory. It's called a "dry martini" by morganmouthpieces.com The 4-18 model.

[@ninjalightning2631]

It's ok to make a great mouthpiece But what is the point , if you don't make purchase options are not so great? You should find a way how to ship , internationally

[@mpcguy]

Have you contacted Morganmouthpieces.com? We ship internationally on a regular basis. Give Dave or Teresa a call or email them I'm sure they will work with you.

[@marcoaureliosilvio8719]

[@mpcguy]

@@marcoaureliosilvio8719 the tip is a 4, .063" The reed is a diadario jazz select 3 hard
