• 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 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.

Drake’s Resonance Chambers represent an evolutionary leap forward in the development of woodwind mouthpieces and their tonal characteristics.

    The combination of innovative resonant materials has been the hallmark of Drake Mouthpieces since the introduction of our ceramic saxophone mouthpieces in 1990.

    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.

  • Drake Mouthpieces Boney James Masters Series for Tenor Saxophones

    This mouthpiece is the result of yet another winning collaboration between Aaron Drake and the world's top professional saxophone players. Boney originally contacted Aaron to request several Drake mouthpieces to try. Over time, the dialog between them grew into a custom mouthpiece project. Boney was seeking a mouthpiece that would combine the warmth and control associated with the best ebonite mouthpieces, with power and projection like a metal version. The Boney James Masters Series delivered exactly that. This mouthpiece incorporates a step baffle, a rounded baffle transition and a special reverse taper in the chamber. It allows the player a tremendous amount of projection and expressiveness while stabilizing the pitch. The unique, proprietary mouthpiece material is an industry first - incorporating ceramic with resin to achieve new levels of resonance.

    The Boney James is available for Tenor, in the following tip openings: 7*(.107"), 8 (.112"), 8* (.117"), and 9 (.122")

    Read Boney's personal endorsement of this amazing mouthpiece:

    "This is the best mouthpiece I have ever played. I am proud to have my signature on it. It gives me ultimate control over my tone. The Drake Boney James Master Series has all the projection and brightness of a metal mouthpiece but I can produce a very round and warm sound as well. It is truly a joy to play."
