SAXOPHONE MOUTHPIECES
New from Dave Guardala - Laser Trimmed Saxophone mouthpieces
!
|
|
As the pioneer of handmade,
CNC-machined mouthpieces, Dave Guardala possesses an exceptional
ear. His gifts of discerning ever so slight shifts in tone quality
is only matched by his entrepreneurial pursuits to develop products
that enable artists to hit their marks. Through the use of new
technology, Dave has once again raised the bar - introducing the
next generation of saxophone mouthpieces: the Dave Guardala Laser
Trimmed line. In short, this cutting edge technology allows Dave
to clone his legendary handmade mouthpiece models and provide
them for considerably less. Laser Trimmed models are produced
and replicated to within tolerances never thought possible. The
result is uncanny. At a clinic demonstration at the University
of Nevada, Reno, world-renowned artist Tom Scott put the new mouthpieces
to test. After comparing five of the same models, Tom stood speechless
- unable to detect a single difference between them. He left playing
one, and continues using one today. Whether it's an original handmade
design or the latest Laser Trimmed model, Dave Guardala products
give saxophonists the ideal blend of performances and playability.
But, until you compare these magnificent models for yourself,
nothing will convince you otherwise. The proof is in the sound. |
