Drake alto piece
That’s right, more props to the makers and refacers of great mouthpieces!
Drake mouthpieces are made by my sax tech’s brother, a great mouthpiece maker, in New Jersey I believe. I’ve tried a couple of these over the past year, but never for alto… big mistake. I’m totally in love with this new one I’m checking out.
This thing is a monster, and possibly the best all-around mouthpiece I’ve ever played. FAT tone. Now I gotta keep up my end of the bargain and do some long tones!
