Get Back to Basics
Author: Teresa Hoskins
Are you tired of chasing fads for a good saxophone or clarinet mouthpiece? It seems that every month there is another new mouthpiece on the market and the choices are just far too many. How do you know what's good? What's bad? How will it sound with my horn? Is it going to over project or not be loud enough? You could spend tireless hours going through the scenerios but it all boils down to one thing: Timelessness.
The Morgan Company has been making mouthpieces, by hand, in the same place, using the same process for over 30 years. We never have and never will outsource to other countries. We do everything ourselves. We made the molds for the casting ourselves. We bake the castings ourselves. We hand craft each one to detailed specifications, all. by. ourselves.
All we know is mouthpieces. That's all we have ever done...... and all we will ever do. We're good at it.

I play vintage horns. My Tenor is a King Zephyr Special from 1938. I like my Brilhart mouthpieces which I got to replace a NY Meyer that was with the horn when I bought it in 1964 (The NY Meyer fell on the floor and shattered).
It was suggested that Morgan mouthpieces were a good fit for my horn.
I play in two garage bands and in church.
