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.
