Hacked Preview of our New Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece Prototype
Today is April 6th and it is the Birthday of Gerry Mulligan. Today is a great day to give an unofficial glimpse of our new mouthpiece for baritone saxophone. This is just a preview of the prototype from phone pictures of progress from our craftsmen. Official information and photos will be out when production starts later this Spring.
This is Gerry Mulligan:
Gerry famously played much of his career on a mouthpiece made by M.C. Gregory.
This is an original M.C. Gregory baritone saxophone mouthpiece mold which was recently acquired by the Morgan Mouthpiece Company:
Using our pure rubber formula, which is probably similar to what M.C. Gregory used, here is the casting from the mold:
After many hours of curing and letting Erik Greiffenhagen work his magic, here's the nearly finished prototype:
And here's a crude hacked video of Erik test playing the unfinished prototype:

Morgan Mouthpiece Company will start production on this model this Spring. We will use this mold with our pure rubber formula. These will be handcrafted to perfection by some of the most experienced mouthpiece craftsmen in the world. If you are a fan of M.C. Gregory baritone saxophone mouthpieces, this will certainly be one to try. More information and photos to come in later this Spring.

I inherited one of the old M.C. Gregory baritone mouthpieces from my father. It’s a great mouthpiece with the best intonation I ever found in a sax Mouthpiece. This new Morgan GM mouthpiece is the same as the M.C. Gregory, and the first Morgan I tried played even better than the Gregory. I love this new Morgan GM.
Please put my name on the list to be notified when this mouthpiece is officially for sale. I know it is going to play beautifully.
I can not wait to try out this incredible mouthpiece. I’ve waited over 40 years for this. I am so glad you were able to get the original molds. This was meant to be. I’ve loved all the Morgan mouthpieces i’ve used over the years. Ralph was a great craftsman and visionary in the sax world. GK
please let me know when these will be available to purchase and cost to purchase this wonderful mouthpiece.
thank you
