Windcraft Tenor Sax Mouthpiece

Windcraft Tenor Sax Mouthpiece - StudentDavid Chapman
"I bought this as the mouthpiece which came with my 2nd hand Tenor was absolute rubbish. Someone recommended the Windcraft from Dawkes and for £19.00 delivered it is incredible value for such a good quality item. I'm a beginner on Tenor and find it very easy to get on with. No squeaks at all. I'm using Marca Jazz 2.5 and Rico Orange 3 reeds. "

Ted Klum Acoustimax Alto Sax Mouthpiece

Ted Klum Acoustimax Alto Sax Mouthpiece - 4Dave Roach
"I really like Klum's stuff, but they are an acquired taste. They blow really well top to bottom, but they need a lot of air and good solid support to get the most out of them. Tonally, they are really quite warm, but with good clarity. Not a paint peeler, you have to work a bit to get projection. I find them reed friendly and very adaptable. "

Barrel Buffet R13 Clarinet

Barrel Buffet R13 Clarinet - 63mmJennie Flatman
"A great replacement! Thanks!"

Windcraft Spring Damper Set

Windcraft Spring Damper Set - Fits Besson EuphoniumsChristopher
"I bought several sets worth of these from Dawkes. They are excellent. They really work to quiet down the springs, and I have found that there is no real substitute for them, because sometimes springs are too short, and these help make up for both noise as well as for differing heights of the valves."
