Description
The Aizen GR Alto Saxophone mouthpiece takes its place in the pro mouthpiece line-up with the benefit of years of technical study and development. This mouthpiece is very resistant which gives it that signature Gregory darkness of timbre that those Meyer mouthpieces were famous for. This also accounts for the very focused core of the Aizen GR, making it almost similar to a classical mouthpiece.
From master mouthpiece maker and Aizen founder Minoru Kubota states:
‘To make this, we analysed and broke down the sound of the master alto saxophonist Paul Desmond’s mouthpieces, in particular we studied carefully the very rare vintage MC Gregory Model A Desmond model…
This GR piece combines superb playability with the warmth and softness of Paul Desmond’s sound. With its slightly curved side wall, low baffle
and medium chamber, this piece puts out a rich, dark, warm sound.
It’s also designed for outstanding ease of play, with no feeling of stress. The Aizen GR Alto Sax Mouthpiece works with all kinds of playing styles. Especially in the middle and higher range, this mouthpiece gets you producing that beautiful dry-Martini Paul Desmond sound.’
