NEW MOUTHPIECE FROM SOPRANOPLANET!

[@RobertOdell-hq3wn]

I just received my Open Sky SL and it is really great. It gives me enormous flexibility to create a personal sound on my Yamaha YSS-82ZR and Yanigasawa SC 800. It projects really powerfully with a very fat tone. Intonation is amazingly accurate - my TE Tuner smiles a lot when I play. It handles cane and synthetic reeds between 2 and 3.5 with equal ease. Subtones can be played with great control and sound really soulful. High D-F sharp are easier to play than with any of my four other mouthpieces. Buying from Joe is a great experience- he wants to know as much about what you want as you can tell him, and we e-mailed a lot. The Open Sky SL is my everyday go-to mouthpiece! Thanks Joe!

Yeah Joe! Sound very good on this. Interesting!

[@josephgiardullo7403]

Thanks. I actually refined it a little more today. I could feel it needed a slight adjustment. After I made it, the piece opened up even more.

Like the deeper sound of a soprano. Most sound so thin to me

[@josephgiardullo7403]

Most soprano mouthpiece are so poorly made that it is a miracle that some play at all. It's not that the designs are bad, but that there is no real understanding of what is necessary for a soprano piece to play well.

[@johnnyloungejazz5477]

If I play a HR 7* on Tenor and a NY 6 on alto would choosing a Soprano MP be the same opening?

[@josephgiardullo7403]

I play a bigger tip on soprano than I do on tenor or alto, by a lot Tip openings on soprano don't mean a lot. It all depends on what a player is after. It's also likely that your tenor and alto pieces may not actually be what they say they are. It happens all the time. Unless, you've measured the tips, or had somebody do it for you, you really have no idea what tip opening or facing you're playing. Players should, at minimum, know that information for certain, imo, unless they just love those pieces. Then, it doesn't matter.
