"Syos Smoky Original #5"

I’ve been playing the Syos Smoky Original 5 mouthpiece for about 7 weeks. I had been using the Yamaha 4C or Selmer S-80 C* with my Yamaha YAS480 that arrived in early February this year. With the Syos Original, my alto immediately became easier to play and sounds great! It’s well worth checking them out.

"Tarogato Mouthpiece"

This is actually a review for a tarogato mouthpiece Syos made for me. As one might imagine, tarogato mouthpieces are not easy to come by. My tarogato came with a couple, which were okay, but I was interested in getting one custom made to get the kind of response I wanted. Madeline did an excellent job of creating a piece to my specifications (1.52 mm tip opening, high baffle, medium chamber), which proved to be fantastic. This is just what I was hoping for, and it has become my primary tarogato mouthpiece. Thank you, Syos!

"Gabi Rose Tenor mpc"

Have bought a few mouthpieces from Syos, but recently I got a Gabi Rose Tenor mpc with a rollover baffle. Oh my gosh I love this mouthpiece. Took me a couple of weeks to find reeds I was happy with (the Fibracells I had been using were a bit buzzy, but D'Addario Select Jazz seem to suit it just fine) and now I just love it. Can go from a whisper to a roar and the altissimo just jumps out. Very happy :)

"Great communication and customer…"

Great communication and customer service. The mouth piece I ordered is amazing, working so well with my saxophone. So smooth. I get so many compliments on the sound.

"Mon 1er Syos"

Mon 1er Syos, un réel plaisir, une facilité d’exécution et de passage d’un registre à l’autre. Reste plus qu’à apprivoiser l’ouverture bien plus grande que sur mon ancien Vandoren BD5. Mais les premiers instants étaient juste au top.

"Ténor et Smoky"

"J'ai mis quelques temps à apprivoiser Ténor (Yanagisawa) et Smoky (en blanc, ça pète !). Le choix des anches est également important. A présent, j'ai trouvé le son que je recherchais avec une émission relativement facile, mais toujours un peu fragile. Il reste toujours à travailler."

"Comme un nouvel instrument"

Je suis très content de ce bec qui produit le son doux et mat recherché. De plus, il élargit la palette dynamique de l'instrument, facilitant l'émission notamment dans le registre pianissimo souvent employé quand je joue des ballades. Accessoirement, combiné à la sourdine Saxmute et l'anche Légère "french cut", il est facile de rester dans une faible pression acoustique quand je veux travailler sans déranger les voisins... Ce qui donne à ce bec un intérêt supplémentaire pour l'étude.

""Un son chaud"

"Un son chaud, clair et ample, avec une émission facile. Une anche très polyvalente !"

""I love these reeds"

"I love these reeds! I also really appreciate Syos. They know how to do business and treat the customer right. I would never hesitate to purchase from them. They are great."

"Crappy product and worst customer service"

Crappy product. The company didn't try to help with the problem or customer being satisfied. We emailed couple of weeks after purchase and tried their ligature as well. Still didn't like it. Now they refuse to give the money back. Customer service doesn't mean anything. Total scam company. Reporting this everywhere.
