SR Technologies SR Technologies Metal Legend Mouthpiece – Tenor Saxophone

Tip Opening: .106 inches

Ron singer of SR Technologies has hit on an exceptionally versatile and easy blowing design for his metal tenor mouthpieces. The Fusion, Pro & Legend all seem to follow basically the same configuration but with different baffles; with the Legend the darkest. What we have here is a top quality, hand finished ’boutique’ mouthpiece with a fast response full, warm-ish tone- broadly speaking similar to a good Otto Link STM. As with all pieces in this range the piece is easy blowing, very responsive and extremely satisfying to play- enough character to get your teeth into, musically speaking, but leaves the player firmly in control of shaping their own overall sound.

SR Tech Mouthpieces

We came across these mouthpieces through the recommendation of professional players. I wasn’t sure how the polycarbonate resin material would effect to overall tone. My previous experiences of plastic based materials have been disappointing. But what a sound! Bright, edgy but still with a great rich tonal core; it is incredibly free blowing and responsive. My personal favourite is the L-85, the slightly larger tip opening gave helped create more body to the tone. Plus if you get caught by some trigger-happy trombone players, it doubles as a small bullet proof vest! But seriously it is great for funk and lead work, bring it on Maceo Parker!
