AIZEN Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece GR Model #6 Retail Price: ¥34,100 The Ultimate Paul Desmond Sound: Paul Desmond used a MC Gregory Model A mouthpiece. The Model A is one of the earliest models from MC Gregory, manufactured approximately 70 years ago. MC Gregory Model A mouthpieces are extremely rare among vintage mouthpieces, making them highly sought after, and are now rarely found on the market. Finding one in good condition is almost impossible. AIZEN spent a long time searching for MC Gregory Model A mouthpieces and, after carefully examining the best examples from every angle, has recreated that vintage sound. This mouthpiece achieves both the warm, soft sound and ease of playing of the legendary alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. The rounded sidewalls, low baffle, and medium chamber produce a sound that is rich, dark, and warm. It is also designed to be very easy to play, so you won't feel any stress. Especially in the mid-to-high range, you can enjoy Desmond's beautiful, dry martini-like sound. This is a very flexible mouthpiece, and you can produce a variety of sounds depending on how you play, so it's not just for jazz; it can be used for various playing styles. The above product description is accurate. It allows for smooth airflow and is very easy to control, making it a good mouthpiece that doesn't cause stress. It is also possible to produce a dark and warm sound. There are marks from a mouthpiece patch that was applied. I used it a few times about 5-6 years ago, but I haven't used it in recent years and have been storing it. The items in the photos are all that are included.
