Drake Mouthpieces

Handcrafted Porcelain / Ceramic

Saxophone Mouthpieces

Before you order please check if tip is available!

A revolutionary design material for saxophone mouthpieces with
the power of metal and a new dimension in tone, stability and responsiveness.

Handcrafted in the tradition of the great vintage mouthpieces, we have combined the essential acoustic design elements with this innovative material, and produced a mouthpiece of unsurpassed quality.  Our philosophy is that, in order to get the tone quality, and depth of sound that many players seek in vintage mouthpieces, we must get back to the basics of fabrication. 


Sculpted Inner Side Walls
The inner side walls are meticulously sculpted and rounded from the tip of the mouthpiece into the chamber. This opens the wind delivery, and creates a big, fat, round tone.

Drake alt VRNYJA

We have designed this exciting new model to embody the characteristics of the great vintage NY Meyers with the added control and response qualities that Drake has become know for.  The rollover baffle transitions to a gradual floor slope that delivers the air column at a carefully calibrated angle to give maximum projection and depth of tone.  The medium "venturi" type chamber also contributes to a controled evenness  of timbre through the registers. 
The beak angle and body dimensions have also been design for optimal embouchure comfort and beauty.   Made from Drake Vintage Resin.
