Morgan Dry Martini Model 18 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
Morgan Dry Martini Model 18 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
"I think I had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to sound like a dry martini.” — Paul Desmond
The Morgan Dry Martini Model is designed by Erik Grieffenhagen. Erik has spent decades studying and copying Gregory mouthpieces. He has custom-made this style of mouthpiece for many customers in the past. A few years ago, the Morgan Company acquired several antique original M.C. Gregory Mouthpiece molds and cores. This acquisition included original cores for Gregory 18 model alto mouthpiece. Using his knowledge of original mouthpieces and by studying the original molds, Erik developed the Dry Martini alto.
