  • Drake Resonance Chamber Mouthpieces

    In 1990, Aaron Drake released the world’s first professional quality ceramic saxophone mouthpiece. This represents the most remarkable mouthpiece innovation in over half a century. Drake’s Resonance Chambers represent an evolutionary leap forward in the development of woodwind mouthpieces and their tonal characteristics.

    Ceramic Resonance Chamber Mouthpieces incorporate Drake’s own proprietary ceramic material into the chamber of the Vintage Resin mouthpiece. This embedded ceramic “ring” is exposed inside of the mouthpiece. The resulting change to the density of the mouthpiece adds new depth and richness to the sound. The way the air travels over the ceramic material contributes to warmth and vibrancy, while maintaining a strong core fundamental tone. The round, full sound of the Ceramic Resonance Chamber Mouthpiece is consistent over the full range of the instrument. The response is instantaneous and the intonation is perfect.

    This is an excellent choice for R&B, funk, or contemporary jazz settings. Featuring a longer step type baffle, this design has great projection.

  • This special mouthpiece was designed by Aaron Drake in direct collaboration with renowned multi-instrumentalist Eddie Daniels. Daniels is an authoritative woodwind player, whose skill on the tenor saxophone is undisputed. Eddie demands a lot from his equipment and the Open Secret delivers.   The OS is crafted from Drake's proprietary Vintage Resin material, which offers the feel of an ebonite mouthpiece, while adding more resonance, response and projection. The design incorporates a rollover baffle that transitions to a medium-large chamber. There is a moderate amount of under-cutting on the side walls. The Drake OS Tenor Mouthpiece is designed specifically for players who feel more comfortable playing a closer, more manageable tip opening, but; still want to establish their personal tone quality, employ a full range of dynamics and add layers of color and nuance to their sound.  This, according to Daniels, IS the "Open Secret".  "A beautiful, centered and flexible sound is best produced with a closer tip opening... with a mouthpiece that is easy to play."  - Eddie Daniels.  The Drake OS for Tenor is available in tip openings: 5*, 6, 6*, and 7  Each Open Secret mouthpiece is handmade my master artisan Aaron Drake, and tastefully engraved with Eddie Daniels' signature, and the words, "OS" and "Open Secret".  Your purchase also includes a Drake Double Rail ligature, Drake mouthpiece cap, plush drawstring pouch, and carry case.

  • This manufacturing innovation by Drake Mouthpieces creates a new dimension in tone for the Saxophonist.  The Internal Exposed Brass Chamber offers a broader range of overtones than a completely brass mouthpiece or a traditional HR mouthpiece. There is a new richness in the tone that is created by combining the different densities of these materials - A new dimension in expressive potential to be explored.The Brass Chamber adds approximately 31% to the overall weight of the mouthpiece.  The addition of this chamber facilitates additional power, flexibility, and control, as wells as greater ease with the Altissimo register. The combination of innovative resonant materials has been the hallmark of Drake Mouthpieces since the introduction of our ceramic saxophone mouthpieces in 1990. - Includes Drake Double Rail vintage resin Ligature, cap and case
