do syos mouthpieces play well?

[@ryanbarber9257]

3:46 - Custom (refaced) 4:17 - James Arben 4:52 - Leland Whitty 5:26 - Scott Paddock 6:00 - Tivon Pennicott 6:44 - Daro Behroozi 7:19 - Chad LB 7:53 - Ryan Devlin 8:30 - Custom 9:06 - D'Addario Select Jazz D7M 9:42 - Otto Link Florida No USA 7* 10:17 - Selmer Soloist Short-Shank 6*

[@laurentclaverie2850]

Hello, could I have the references of the nozzle n ° 8 custom please? thank you

[@ISKMUSIC1]

For me: The Daro Behroozi sounded like it has a really nice attack on fast passages. The tonging sounded very crisp. D'Addario - probably the best tone for jazz. Otto Link had the most modern sound and in terms of tone was my favorite. The rest sound "plain", while the Link really has an interesting character. Most of the SYOS's sounded kinda the same to me (except the one I mentioned). Very minor differences...

[@MaxDad7]

To me, Daro's and Leland's are pretty similar. Daro's had better attack than Leland's, but Leland's seemed better in altissimo and subtones.

[@timzannes9588]

The three last ones, especially the Link and the Selmer, sound great with those two each having its own unique character. Nice playing. This is a clinic in why not to get a digitally made mouthpiece and why to search for a vintage one. Materials, craftsmanship and art actually matter for someone seeking his/her own unique voice.

[@tootonit]

Thanks for this! I much prefer the Custom 8 over the others, probably because I play a Slant. It would be fun to have a glow-in-the-dark Slant.

[@DavidHallidayMusic]

The Link sounds amazing. Then the switch to the Selmer immediately hit me with memories of Joe. Great video brother.

[@SaxSpy]

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I feel honoree hearing about your memories of Joe.

You can’t even imagine haw much i envy you... this is a real paradise!

[@SaxSpy]

Thanks! Lots more videos coming

[@lesgoe8908]

Thank you for such an informative, succinctly structured, and well-played mouthpiece test.

[@SaxSpy]

thank you! more on the way:)

[@HB-ve4wi]

It would be real helpful if you'd give us your take on the pieces, since it's your sound image that determines your tone quality to a large extent. The differences tend to be too insignificant to matter to listeners and players are not likely to choose what others prefer, but what they like according to what the mouthpiece feels like. Thanks.

[@ohdingobongo]

The James Arben, Tivon Pennicott were best of Syos, but best of all the Otto Link Florida USA 7* did it for me. I've always preferred O/Links, but then I like the Getz darker quartet sound. I'd like to try the latest Vintage O/Link sometime.

[@EmileRyjoch]

Bit of a cheeky ending.

[@hughsmithau33]

Eyyyy

[@lesWall]

Selmer piece sounds great !

[@lukeh9300]

I was so surprised they have a Leland whitty one! I love badbadnotgood! An inspiration to me

My choice would be Daddario, thanks.

Thanks for the spanish subtitles !!! Makes all more understandable 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hoping to do more!

Very impressed with the mouthpieces, and great playing there Sax Spy man!!!

[@sandrorogeriorocha8197]

Gostei muito da sonoridade da boquilha modelos: Scott Paddock & Daro Behroozi,muito top!

[@bobblues1158]

Thank you.This is great. I play on several SYOS tenor MPs. Each for different styles or acoustic setting. It would be of great help to me if you would play a melody slowly pianissimo in two octaves on each MP. Prelude to a Kiss at tempo 48 for the quarter note.Fast and high is great but not all of my gigs need that. Keep up the good work!

[@SaxSpy]

thanks!

[@codylaurie96]

Can you do an alto syos mouthpeice comparison against other peices more synonymous with alto sax like the myer or the jody jazz hr star, i want to figure out wich one to purchase and want to make sure i spend my money wisely thankyou! Loved the video btw you sound amazing

[@SaxSpy]

I'd love to! I have a vintage NYUSA Meyer, Retro Revival New Yorker, Morgan, V16, Meyer G, SK Modus and a few other Meyer like pieces!

[@codylaurie96]

@@SaxSpy i would love to see this

[@grahamsnell1603]

They all sound great to me, which one do you think would work best in a loud funk band situation?

[@SaxSpy]

The Scott Paddock was certainly made for that. In order, I would say Scott, Ryan, then Chad is the crossover piece, Leland and Daro. Daro has a really small chamber, but the huskiness is very unique and not necessarily the vibe you're going for. Be sure to use my code to help support the channel!

[@ivanromero4936]

Interesting comparison! You sound the best on the D'addario!

[@SaxSpy]

thank you!

[@abedinsubashi]

I’m debating between the Chad Lb, Daro Behroozi, Tivon Pennicott, and the Dan Forshaw (which wasn’t on this list) which one did you prefer?

[@SaxSpy]

Chad LB

[@JJ_Photo]

Great review thanks! To me the D'Addario had the best fat tenor sound without being thin. And then your pink custom model. But the Tivon model has some lush nice sound also. The roll over piece I didn't like at all. Sounded a bit like the sound was being choked... Keep those videos coming :)

[@SaxSpy]

thank you,!

[@brianleising800]

I didn’t know they glowed! I’ll have to try that with my Michael Wilbur model.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to summon a sax demon from down under like I did, that takes a certain game (who's name is part of the secret giveaway) :)

Hi, I've seen some comments regarding a giveaway, but don't see the question/rules. Is it still on?

[@SaxSpy]

It's passed, thanks! Feel free to follow the instagram page for future events!

[@gsco82]

In my opinion, you have set a very difficult task for the listener to discern much difference between the many mouthpieces you have tested, mainly because you are a very good player. Comments about ease of playing/resistance would help. I am quite happy with my Otto Link metal mouthpiece on my Selmer Mark VI tenor.

[@SaxSpy]

Thanks! I'm working on another and I'll include more of my opinion

[@claudeimbert9226]

Merci beaucoup pour cet essai comparatif très intéressant ! Ma préférence va au Short shank et au d'addario , nettement.

[@oneandoneeleven]

Any thoughts on Alto pieces doing the pop/funk solos in a live band situation?

[@bbcocallaghan]

I like the d'addario best - a richer tone - although i did enjoy the trane vibes of the link

[@skelligringphotographyandw7012]

Interesting comment that your half-price SYOS came in blue. So did mine (Dayna Stephens 7*). They must have had a lot of blue plastic in stock at that time. :)

[@SaxSpy]

Hey I'm fine with that!

[@skelligringphotographyandw7012]

@@SaxSpy Me too, I think I got the colour I would have picked, had I been given the choice and the lig matched, which was very cool! I'm actually in the process of swapping the mouthpiece for a D'Darrio Sect Jazz, though as I think the SYOS is a bit too 'in your face' for me.

Be aware if you live in the US and try one of these mpcs and return it because you don't like it you will get shorted $50 for shipping due to the exchange rate.

Does the syos ligature fit on your DaDdario? If it does I think I'm gonna cop a white lig for my marble DaDdario. Great vid!

The D'addario and the Link. All the pieces that weren't SYOS sound better than SYOS. They all have a "plastic" quality I don't like.

[@SaxSpy]

Hope you found it informative!

[@Madmohawkfilms]

What material is SYOS using? I’ve heard many of the materials may not be good for putting in mouth

[@SaxSpy]

ABS. What you heard is probably more related to the recent metal toxicity study in chinese mouthpieces and some american and vintage brands, causing them to require labels in California.

[@Madmohawkfilms]

Sax Spy it was PLA I was told to beware of. Thanks for the information

oh, okay! Here's what I was talking about for reference. sugalmouthpieces.com/chinese_imported_mpc
