Email from a long-time customer -
Walter, you've outdone yourself.
This (mouthpiece) is amazing!
I think you really are onto something here. I knew within seconds it was special. It's a wonderful match for me, and
that's never happened before among hundreds of mouthpieces, even with
your older pieces.
I've never played anything quite like it - effortless
in all the right areas, yet it accepts all the air one can muster
without spreading or closing up.The dynamic contrast is just wild. I can now play whisper soft
with a centered tone, no extra embouchure pressure in any register, and
zero reed noise.
It's kind of freaking me out how clear and penetrating
the pianissimos are. And yet it plays a fortissimo with the most
balanced spectrum of sound I've ever been able to produce! There's a ton
of warmth, but a fantastic brilliance surrounding that full, dark
center.
And the legato! The interval leaps! I
went through Copland, Debussy, Mozart, Nielsen, Italian operas, Bach
transcripts, and some jazz licks, and I've never felt more secure or
flexible.
I wouldn't believe it if I didn't
record myself, but in one day I've been able to accomplish things I
thought I may never be able to, so thank you Walter for a great
mouthpiece and letting us all enjoy music that much more!
