JOHANNES GERBER
HAND MADE SAXOPHONE MOUTHPIECES
Gerber SOLO MC Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece
The Johannes Gerber SOLO MC soprano saxophone mouthpiece features a unique medium chamber design offering the saxophonist freedom of expression, superior intonation, and a sound that is characterized by presence, clarity, and sweetness. Compared to the SOLO LC model, the SOLO MC has a slightly more focused core sound with more presence - a more contemporary soprano sound.
In terms physical dimensions, the only difference between the SOLO MC and SOLO LC is the size of the throat. (medium vs large)
The slight roll-over baffle and straight side-walls transition into a medium sized throat. The chamber design is complimented by the optimized facing specification, resulting in a free-blowing mouthpiece with just enough resistance for ease of articulation and control in the extreme high register.

Material: We have developed a modern equivalent for the famous 'vintage hard rubber' from the 1950's, with properties closely related to the material used for the vintage Otto Link and Meyer mouthpieces from from the past. Follow the TECH link for more information.
