The New "Black Magic" mouthpieces

When we entered the mouthpiece business in a big way a couple of years ago, we did so with the intent of bringing high quality unique designs to our customers at a reasonable price. We believed then, and based on customer feedback, believe now that there is a segment of the mouthpiece market that has been ignored. We find that our customers want hand faced mouthpieces that they can actually use on gigs to make a living. We don't try to address the esoteric jazz or classical markets. Our mouthpieces are for people who are out there playing for other people and sharing their music. We believe that your mouthpiece should be easy to play and allow you to get the most you possibly can out of your horn.

Our latest addition to the lineup is the Black Magic series for alto, tenor, and soprano saxophone. These are high baffle, very low resistance mouthpieces which are incredibly free blowing and responsive. Each one is beautifully finished in a stunning anondized black nickel plating and has a fully adjustable built on ligature.The baffle is somewhat high and is of a "cliff" type configuration. The baffle leads into a large chamber, so the Black Magic does not have the "thin" sound often heard on high baffle mouthpieces. Low note response is excellent and the Black Magic subtones beautifully.The Black Magic mouthpiece is designed for rock and roll and club work. The tone is somewhat bright and cutting. There is nothing shy about this mouthpiece! We'll have them up on www.nationofmusic.com in a few days. Alto, tenor, or soprano are all $300, and a variety of tip openings are available.

You'll note in the pictures that below the Saxgourmet logo and tip opening designation are some runes. The first customer to decipher the runes wins a free Black Magic!
