Thank you for your reply anyway, Whatever.

Are you Desmond's fans? Do you know Mouthpiece and alto saxophone does he use?

Thank you, indeed.

Hi Joblim,

Yes, I do listen to Paul Desmond's CDs....especially when it is rainning....lol

his mouthpiece should be a McGregory.....around $350USD

for saxophone, I read that he uses Mark VI....however..saw from the cover of one of his transcription books....I recognise that it is a Super Balance action....and also the mouthpiece, on that book seems very much a Selmer Airflow to me....it is the earliest mouthpiece Selmer made...

I have a very small openning one...and it indeed soundsmore Desmond like....the sound is more soft and the intensity seems to be only in the middle of the tone...I think it is actually pretty weak at the outside of each tone....so it really is more Desmond to me....

this is what I think only...and I use my terms to discrib the things...so hope you understand...I havent played a McGregory....but hunting for one on Ebay...
