“I felt the emotion I had been seeking for so many years while playing, the sound I always desired”

Over the past 20 years of working professionally as a musician, I have had the opportunity to test dozens of saxophone mouthpieces, from the most popular to the most refined. Due to a strong friendship with the brilliant and beloved professor, maestro, and luthier, Adriano Sviech, I was able, with his help, to access high-quality mouthpieces and saxophones. A series of factors made it difficult for me to find a mouthpiece that fits my embouchure style, due to a genetic dental arch issue, and having been a clarinetist for years, I had a different embouchure model than usual for saxophonists. As a result, no mouthpiece gave me the comfort and sound feedback I always dreamed of and studied hard to achieve.

One day, I was introduced to Tramontin mouthpieces through this same friend, who assured me he had found a mouthpiece with different technology that had everything I needed to adapt to it more easily. The first time I played my saxophone with the Tramontin mouthpiece, I felt the emotion I had been seeking for so many years while playing, the sound I always desired, the ease of blowing, tuning, executing, and transposing low, high, and super high notes. From that moment on, I felt a renewal in my professional and artistic life. The versatility of the Tramontin mouthpiece is unique, incomparable, and perfectly adaptable to any blowing style. It fits with you, with your sound, no matter how you play or your musical style. When you blow your instrument, you will hear the sound of your soul.
