Sax and Clarinet Mouthpiece WorkI like the blue one too. And great playing btw. More center and a little more complex tone, though they are both good. The orange one seems to be louder but don't know how you recorded each.

Hi to everybody,
just received two new mouthpieces I personally designed few months ago.
I've tried them and like both. I will keep the blue one for myself :)
Images and sound clips available here (in my alto sax 4 sale page):
http://www.hobbysax.com/Mysix.html
Plese let me know if you like them or not.
Any negative or positive comment is really appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan

Dan,
While I thought the sound of the orange piece was nice,
I REALLY liked the tone and the edge of the blue one. That’s the kind of
sound that I’ve been looking for out of a HR/Acrylic piece but have not
found… Let me know if you are going to be making more of those, I’d love
to get my hands on one…

A quadratic equation is Y=aX^2+bX+c. If a=0 you get a pure straight line, if b=0 you get a pure parabolic curve. But if a=.5 and b=.5 you get half a line and half a parabola. This is what I mean by an "in-between" curve. "c" just determines where it crosses the Y axis when X=0.
For a facing curve, a, b, c are actually determined by the data set and a least squares analysis. They are difficult to tweek on your own to make a facing curve that is a little more open/closed. Theo actually came up with a linear fit for facing length based on tip opening and also a, b, c based on tip opening (I going from memory here but you can check his site). So he can get different curves based on tip opening. But only one type of curve for each tip opening and facing length the way he uses it.
I like elliptical curves since I can deal in just 3 terms to describe a target curve. The tip opening, facing length and the ratio of the major/minor axis of the ellipse that passes through the tip and facing length. After a while, you get a feel for what different ratios can do. Also, a ratio of "1" is the same as a radial curve.
The same can be done with the variable exponent curve, though I have not worked with this curve.

I've recored them in the same conditions using the same reed (a #3 Vandoren V16) and ligature (a standard selmer metal lig). The orange one plays louder mainly due to the higher internal rollover baffle. Thank you for your comments.

Hi:
What tip opening is that blue piece, and are they available? By the way, you sound like a really hip player. Nice, swinging feel, and cool note choices.
I would like to know more about these, like where they are made, and what tip openings they are in.
Thanks,
Bob

> I like elliptical curves since I can deal in just 3 terms to
describe a target curve. The tip opening, facing length and the ratio
of the major/minor axis of the ellipse that passes through the tip
and facing length. After a while, you get a feel for what different
ratios can do. Also, a ratio of "1" is the same as a radial curve.

have not worked with this curve.
