Master Your Mouthpiece
"What I look for in a mouthpiece is the ability to shape the sound that I hear in my head, along with ease of articulation. Drake mouthpieces do that for me."
Jerry Bergonzi
Known worldwide for its high quality, innovative design and unique material make up, Drake Mouthpieces, is the leading source for handcrafted saxophone mouthpieces. Aaron Drake personally hand faces and finishes every piece. He fashioned the Drake Jerry Bergonzi "EB" Masters Series Mouthpiece borrowing the most desirable aspects of Jerry’s Early Babbitt model.
“The design process was over two years in the making, with extensive input and feedback from Bergonzi at every stage. The result is a mouthpiece that generates a lustrous, lush, fat sound, in line with the best vintage mouthpieces of the era. The EB is a large, round chamber mouthpiece that incorporates the classic "crescent" shaped baffle, which transitions to a recalibrated floor contour. The tip and side rails are finished to Jerry's exact specifications. He prefers a slightly wider contour that facilitates a fat sound and stabilizes the attack.” Aaron Drake

“I took the first reed out of the box and played it, and it had all the presence that I look for in a reed. Having played it for two weeks, I thought I would try another, and it played like the first, and so did the third one. These reeds are user friendly.”
