Hi Ron -
Got home last night from the Florida tour I was on. The piece came to the house on Saturday while i was out.
I played it for six hours today!! I am amazed at the comfort level and the incredible low end. WOW!!! The altissimo flies out. It allows so much flexibility and focus on the music and improv creativity, vs. technical having to think about making a mouthpiece respond. WOW!!!

Ron, I got the mpc in the mail yesterday and I just wanted to let you know how blown away I am with it! Head and shoulders above any tenor mouthpiece I have played in terms of the sound I get from it, the projection, control, intonation, everything ...

Hi Ron -

I am nearly speechless, the 120B plays so effortless, I was amazed. The bottom end has this luscious purr to it. The top end is full, absolutely beautiful. I just wanted to test the mouthpiece last night for a few minutes and the next thing I know, 3 hours had passed.

Ron, Everything I told you I wanted in my sound you
reproduced in this mouthpiece. It is incredible sounding.
Thank you for all your work !!

Everything is so much easier on this mouthpiece. In fact I keep second-guessing myself because I keep finding myself thinking, "This can't be right! There's no way I'm sounding this good without even trying." It's easy to blend and yet with a minimal amount of extra air I can cut through the band like it's nothing.
Excellent work man! Many thanks from this grateful bari player.
Hi Ron,
I've now had time to play in my new tenor mpc and it SMOKES like a flame thrower fires the notes out pure and with soul
truly magnificent !!!
Many Thanks
Ron,
I cannot thank you enough. Playing is a joyful experience again. I no longer have to fight with my setup to get the sounds that I want, and I don't get fatigued from playing. The mouthpiece you made for me is absolutely superb. Huge dynamic range, big fat tone, tons of projection, great response, a big even sound in every register, and tonal versatility for days. It is everything I've been looking for in a mouthpiece. You are the man. I'll definitely be sending folks your way when I hear they are shopping around.
Thanks,
Dear Ron,
I've now have had enough time to really test out both pieces in a variety of different settings and I must say how pleased I am with them. I was actually surprised at the volume and depth of sound generated by both pieces in comparison to the metal piece's I'd been using, Unbelievable!
I'd obviously researched at length before asking you to make them, but had the idea that perhaps people were exaggerating somewhat on the performance achieved. Oh how wrong I was! I am really, really happy and cannot recommend them enough. I shall be singing your praises over at this side of the pond for some time to come.
Hey Ron,
Wanted to let you know I got the bari mouthpiece its exactly what I asked for. After testing out the mouthpiece in several settings, it projects in the big band and has a huge sound for the more contemporary playing I do, plus Its got that beautiful 50's subtone we talked about about. Great work, the mouthpiece plays great and is very versatile.
Thank You.
From Japan:
Dear Mr. Ron Coelho
You are genius!
New alto mp is just perfect for me.
The word of "perfect" is just your work.
excellent, marvelous, wonderful, splendid, beautiful, gorgeous,
I don't know which adjective I can use.
Also, I can't possibly put my thanks in words.
Anyway I practice Alto all day long.
Mr. Ron Coelho!
Thank You!

Sound is not the easiest thing to describe, my priorities for saxophone sound in order of importance are as follows:
- BEAUTIFUL :: The saxophone is one of the most beautiful instruments there is, the sound should be big and rich and beautiful.
- DYNAMIC RANGE :: It should be easy to play up and down the horn, soft to loud.
- EDGE :: Everyone has different tastes and perceptions, but some edge on top of the sound is desirable. Each mouthpiece is extensively play tested and the facing curve adjusted until it meets exacting musical standards!
Each mouthpiece must pass the following tests!
- The mouthpiece must respond with the slightest amount of air and support from the embouchure.
- It must play evenly from top to bottom, meaning, adjacent notes must center in the same way.
- At medium volumes it must have a round and pleasing sound.
- Most importantly for a Jazz mouthpiece, at more extreme volume levels the sound has to hold together and develop some real power!

Understand that each mouthpiece is play tested and the facing and chamber tweaked and fussed with, until the mouthpiece has flawless intonation and response. Very few- if any - mouthpieces
on the market today are individually played for 2 or 3 hours (or more) on different days, and with different reeds to assure the musicality of the sound.
