Metal tenor sax mouthpieces
CG Mouthpiece Italy metal mouthpieces are sculpted starting from top quality solid brass bars, free from lead. The sculpting process is performed in compliance with the orientation of the extrusion fibres and, although it is very expensive with respect to other manufacturing methods, it provides the mouthpiece with great stability and unparalleled timbre richness.
The first, high-precision mechanical phase of the manufacturing process ensures the compliance with the essential parameters of the mouthpiece – length and planarity of the plane, development of the curve, symmetry of the rails, internal geometry.
All these parameters are carefully studied and assessed during the design process for each model. Then, the mouthpieces are carefully processed, hand finished and, after all parameters have been verified, tested: a “field” test that is essential for us, so each piece is played. Finally, the thick 24-carat gold plating ensures the mouthpiece is completely non-toxic, providing more additional value.

Florence was the first model manufactured by CG Mouthpiece Italy. A little bit darker than the Rome model, it was designed for saxophonists who want a powerful, very projective and not excessively bright sound. Its step baffle of average length, about one third of the window, is shared by both types of chambers available for this model. As a matter of fact, the Florence model is available in the medium chamber and big chamber versions. The first one is characterized by easier sound emission (smaller volume of the chamber, less concave window walls) and a very centred and compact sound; the second one by greater body and deeper sound (real big chamber, concave window walls), particularly detectable in the medium-low and low register of the instrument.

The Rome model was designed for those musicians who look for a clear and powerful sound with great projection. The transition of the step baffle into a really big chamber provides the Rome model with a bright and buzz-free timbre. The internal walls of the window become concave halfway through it, virtually enlarging the following big chamber. Designed for the saxophonist who wants to approach the most modern musical genres and needs to stand out easily among the other instruments. The harmonic frequencies, achieved thanks to the high beak, help saxophonists make their sound stand out also within crowded sound contexts (amplified instruments, great sound pressure). The bronze we selected proved to be a great choice, because the research for timbre brightness did not jeopardize the sound body, which is still powerful and full in all the registers of the saxophone.

The Turin model was designed for saxophonists who look for a traditional, typical 1940s-1950s sound, as well as timbre homogeneity in all the registers of the instrument and great projection. The transition of the long low beak into a large chamber - bullet cut – provides the Turin model with a full and dark timbre, maintaining an excellent sound focus. The window walls are initially flat to concentrate air in the starting phase and become gradually concave halfway through the window, anticipating the size of the chamber that – thanks to the bullet-cut shape – has an even larger volume. The Turin model is characterized by great projection and a moderately dark timbre – thanks to the long and not too low beak, with a fat and deep sound, thanks to the bullet-cut shape and gradually concave walls towards a large chamber. Recommended also for hard-bop lovers and anyone who prefers a similar sound to hard rubber but with the typical projection and focus of a metal mouthpiece.

The Venice model was designed for musicians who look for a similar sound to hard rubber, but with typical projection and focus of metal mouthpieces. The transition of the long step baffle into a large chamber provides the Venice model with a full and not too dark timber, maintaining excellent sound focus. The timbre depth of the Venice model is also achieved thanks to the internal window walls, which become concave halfway through it, anticipating the size of the big chamber. A little brighter than the Turin model, it is perfect in contexts where this timbre characteristics can help stand out in big bands or medium bands with several wind instruments.
