10MFAN 10MFAN Robusto Ebonite Tenor Mouthpiece – Gen II

Rich, full, warm, yet punches and sizzles when pushed!

The Robusto was designed to serve as the individual tenor mouthpiece for its creator. It offers an ideal combination of low tones, abundant midrange, and high frequencies, presenting a rich array of colors and a broad dynamic range. Emphasizing the mid range, it delivers a sound characterized by a classic warmth with an edge and a strikingly beautiful punch when desired. Compared to the Celebration and The Classic mouthpieces in the same category, it provides more power, punch, and brightness. It embodies a timeless “hard bop NY tenor sound” while simultaneously offering a modern Jazz sound, complete with a delightful sizzle when desired. The Robusto allows ample space for expressive playing, offering great body and depth with its clean and powerful, full-bodied sound. The palm keys are specifically designed to enhance the sound’s openness as it is pushed. Deliberately thinner in the palm keys compared to category one pieces, this design choice ensures that the sound releases effortlessly, making it an excellent choice for high-energy performances. In contrast, The Classic and Celebration maintain a warmer and fuller tone in the upper register, while the Robusto caters to those seeking a more punchy and bright sound in that range.

STAFF REVIEW

“If you’re looking for a fat sounding tenor mouthpiece, this has to be one of the fattest out there! The sound is incredibly spread, but with a good deal of power and attack on tap too. There is a real classic vibe created from this piece. You can seriously recall the sound of those hard bop/jazz players of the 50’s, but of course we now live in the modern world and in this sense the mouthpiece will respond to more contemporary approaches equally as well!” – Jim – sax.co.uk
