Giga Sax Guardala Branford Marsalis – Tenor Sax Mouthpiece – Gold Plated – Handmade

An exact replica of the mouthpiece played by Brandford Marsalis, it has a large bore/ chamber and a moderate baffle. It’s ideal for playing mainstream Jazz With the “harder” sound Brandford made famous. 

All handmade Guardala models are constructed by Nadir Ibrahimoglu, the former workshop colleague of the legendary mouthpiece guru- Dave Guardala. Building on his skill learn with Guardala Nadir has continued with the classic designs as well as introducing several new variations of his own. 

This sort of construction is very labour intensive, but the overall quality is without peer. Cosmetically the appearance is much smoother with no cut marks, facilitating better airflow throughout the piece. As a result, in our tests, we’ve found it’s more complex, richer with additional harmonics. Difficult to put your finger on exactly why or what is going on, but is it worth it……ooh yes!
