    Brass Resonance Chamber Contemporary 1 Tenor

    $395.00

    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.

    We are now offering this model with a Brass Resonance Chamber. The addition of the Brass chamber offer the harmonic overtones of brass into the sound and enhances the ease of the Altissimo register. The projection qualities are also greatly increased by the addition of the brass chamber.

    Brass Resonance Chamber Mouthpieces encapsulate an exposed brass ring into the Vintage Resin mouthpiece. The result of combining these two materials is a broader spectrum of overtones than with brass or hard rubber mouthpieces. The Brass Resonance Chamber model outweighs the corresponding standard mouthpiece by approximately 30%. This added mass creates unbelievable amounts of resonance, harmonics and projection.

    The Brass Resonance Mouthpieces offer a robust, husky tone with plenty of harmonics in the sound. It is somewhat more “spread” than the Ceramic version. It has impeccable intonation and presents consistent tonal characteristics over the entire range of the horn. This unique configuration also allows easier access to the altissimo register.

    All Drake Resonance Chamber Mouthpieces are uniquely handmade. Each piece is play-tested and balanced up to altissimo double F and beyond.

    This high baffle mouthpiece is designed for players looking for the ability to cut through and be heard, while still maintaining a balance overtone series. This model features a high baffle, lightly undercut sidewalls, with a graduated chamber transition and large chamber, similar to the Guardala Brecker I. Great for R&B, Rock and Roll, and Contemporary Jazz Fusion.   - Includes Drake Double Rail vintage resin Ligature, cap and case

    David Sanborn VR Masters Series

    $322.00
     

    NEW! The Drake David Sanborn VR Masters Series Mouthpiece for Alto Saxophone 

    Background

    David Sanborn came to prominence in the 1980's and has since been a major influence on the Pop, Contemporary, Jazz, R&B and Crossover genres. His distinctive tone on the alto saxophone is unmistakable. Sanborn's sound is the reason why he is one of the most successful and prolific saxophone players of recent times.  

    David commissioned Aaron to make him a custom mouthpiece that would measure up to his exacting standards and deliver winning performances; whether on stage or in the studio. The Aaron Drake David Sanborn Signature model has exceeded expectations.

    After the successful launch of the metal version, Drake and Sanborn continued to consult, seeking the next evolution of this mouthpiece, to provide unparalleled playing comfort and new possibilities in the sound. The result is the new Sanborn VR Masters Series model.   

    Design

    This mouthpiece features a unique three-tier baffle design, with a medium, venturi chamber. It is made from Drake's proprietary Vintage Resin material, which is not available anywhere else on the market. 

    This special mouthpiece is offered in three tip-openings: 6 (.080"), 7 (.085") and 8 (.090"). David Sanborn plays the 8 tip-opening. 

    Sound

    The mouthpiece features a very immediate response and precise attack, with just the right amount of resistance to develop rich tonal color and allow total freedom of expression. It is exceptionally free blowing and allows the player to employ a complete range of dynamics, from the bottom to the top of the instrument. It is a powerful, projective mouthpiece, with impeccable intonation and a lush core sound. The full, rich sound presented by the Drake Sanborn Signature mouthpiece far surpasses that of other high-baffle, "power mouthpieces". The Vintage Resin version provides unparalleled playing comfort, incredible projection, evenness of scale and a rich spectrum of tonal characteristics. 

    "This new Vintage Resin really feels like home to me. It is an extraordinary mouthpiece, with full spectrum tone. The intonation is incredibly precise.  It is like nothing I've played before.  It is incredibly free-blowing and full. A joy to play." 

    - David Sanborn

    Jerry Bergonzi ‘Presence’ Masters Series Tenor model

    $370.00
    An Aaron Drake Bergonzi Masters Series Mouthpiece

    Background 

    Jerry Bergonzi is a world-renowned jazz saxophonist, composer and educator. He first gained recognition while touring and recording as a guest on several Dave Brubeck ensemble tours, and later held the saxophone chair in the Dave Brubeck Quartet from 1979-1982. 

    The Presence Masters Series Mouthpiece was sparked by Bergonzi's love of classic short shank Soloist models, played by such greats as Joe Henderson. There is a certain presence in Henderson's sound that surrounds the player and the listener. Full, rich, deep and even haunting are words that could describe this presence. 

     

    Design

    Aaron Drake's Presence design is informed by the Soloist models of the classic era, while adding innovations that inspire modern saxophonists. 

    Based on the same essential mouthpiece played by Joe Henderson, the Presence incorporates a "U" shaped chamber with flat side walls. This acoustic design creates a specific feel to the air flow and projects a very substantial core tone. Drake's design modifications optimize the Presence for larger tip-openings - something that was a challenge for players of the traditional version. 

    The Bergonzi Presence mouthpiece is made from Drake's unique and proprietary Vintage Resin material. The exacting design and the specific material produce an unparalleled response, brilliant projection, spot-on intonation and ease of expression.  

     

    Sound

    The Presence presents a huge warm core with plenty of depth. It can be played mellow but still has plenty of pop and liveliness in the sound. The Presence helps facilitate the type of delivery Joe Henderson was famous for. 

    "What I look for in a mouthpiece is the ability to shape the sound that I hear in my head, along with ease of articulation. Drake mouthpieces do that for me." 

     -Jerry Bergonzi

     

    Details

    The Presence is available only for Tenor Sax, in the following tip-openings: 

    7* / .105", 7** / .108" , 8 / .110", 8* / .115", 9* / 125",  10* / .135"

    Each mouthpiece is handmade by master artisan Aaron Drake, and tastefully engraved with a unique serial number, the Bergonzi signature, and Drake Trademark. 

    Your purchase also includes a Drake Vintage Resin Double Rail ligature, Drake mouthpiece cap, plush drawstring pouch, and carry case.

    Shipping of this mouthpiece is complimentary within the Continental USA. 

    Express International shipping is available as an option at check-out. All purchasers will be notified over email when their particular mouthpiece ships, along with any tracking information, if applicable.
