DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE!




I am selling only a limited quantity of my proprietary design, original, hand-finished mouthpieces on ebay due to the high demand and wait list I have for these pieces. I will try and list a handful every month on ebay, and otherwise please visit my website and you can listen to the audios, read about my philosophy, and order there....thank you.



WELL, LET ME TELL YOU WHERE I AM COMING FROM:

In the old days when a mouthpiece company offered you a new mouthpiece, they offered you a NEW design...not a copy of an existing model.

Look at the big 6 pioneers from 70 or so years ago----Otto Link, Selmer, Brilhart, Meyer, Dukoff, and Berg Larsen. 

These companies designed completely different mouthpieces than each other, and players really had a FULL selection of new ORIGINAL designs to choose from to get themselves the sound they desire. 


I REALLY RESPECT THAT GREATLY, AND THAT HAS BEEN MY INSPIRATION FOR MY 10MFAN™ MOUTHPIECE LINE!


Today, a guy with no knowledge of mouthpiece design can get to a CNC machine, copy a vintage model, put a new shell for the outside with a new name on it, and voila, he is a "mouthpiece maker". I find this highly disrespectful to the real originators of mouthpiece designs. 

Look at how many copies there are of Slants, Early Babbitts, Meyer Bros altos, Meyer NY USA altos, Guardalas, Florida STM's, Double Rings, Berg Larsens, Brilharts, Selmer Soloists, etc, etc...


Its so sad to see what has happened, and the same thing has happened with saxophone making also. Look at the big 5 saxophone makers over the last 80 or so years. The vintage Conns, Selmers, Bueschers, Martins, and Kings all offered players ORIGINALITY and a real difference in horns.


Here at 10mfan mouthpieces, we offer ORIGINAL DESIGNS for players today looking for an alternative to the same type of thing you see from one maker to the next. Designed by a 30+ year pro player, for players looking for super flexibility and versatility in fresh, new, ORIGINAL mouthpiece designs. Mouthpieces designed so that players don't sound the same. Mouthpieces that allow players to get their own unique sound without feeling like they are put in a "sound corner" to sound similar to so many others.  


10mfan mouthpieces have become the mouthpiece choice for more than a couple thousand players all over the world who have been yearning for ORIGINALITY, superb craftsmanship, world class designs, incredible playability and sound. EVERY single mouthpiece plays as it was designed. There are no duds or mediocre pieces coming out of here. They all play perfect, and I take great pride in that.    


I want to be remembered for making a SERIOUS contribution to the mouthpiece world, and thats what motivates me to design and make what we make here.


Here at 10mfan mouthpieces we are truly focussed on making a difference in mouthpiece design. 

No gimmicky designs, no snake oil salesmen, no copies, no paid endorsers, AND NO BS.

While others will tell you that loads of guys are using their mouthpieces--take a look at the bandstands, the studios, the players touring on the road with big name acts, and see how many of those you ACTUALLY see out there being used. Look at mouthpiece makers websites and look at their endorser lists, and see how many of those guys ACTUALLY USE the models they are endorsing. Trust me, I know the guys on the endorsers pictures and lists, and we have talked in great depth about all the hype out there to try to get people to buy mouthpieces.  


I am very proud that 10mfan mouthpieces are all over the world, and being used and enjoyed by so many players of all different abilities, from heavyweights, all the way to players who play just for fun. 


PLAYERS ARE TRULY GETTING RE-ENERGIZED ABOUT PLAYING AGAIN, AND FINALLY, THEY CAN GET WORLD-CLASS MOUTHPIECES AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. THESE ARE ALL HAND-FINISHED ONE AT A TIME WITH GREAT PRECISION AND CARE.





This ROBUSTO is a killer playing 7* which measures .105. It was designed to outplay the vintage Slant and Early Babbitt Links, and for me it does that, by a ton. It's got the warmth, but more fullness, fatness, and power for me. It can be played warm or with more punch and grit depending on your skills. Reed choice will also affect the sound color of my mouthpieces greatly, so you can really dial in what you specifically want as a player with simple reed changes. This has a moderate baffle with a nice large chamber. The floor drops down after the baffle, so it might appear deceptively like a higher baffle mouthpiece, but its not even remotely close to that at all. The baffle from the side view is not high at all. Its all in the design!

I have owned the finest vintage mouthpieces over the last 30+ years and have made a living selling them all over the world. I design pieces that for me outplay the finest vintage pieces in their category, and offer players today a real opportunity for a NEW VOICE. 


Players deserve a break from all the vintage copycat pieces and their absurd prices!


I offer originality, unbeatable playability,  and 1st class quality for less.
