All Brendan Tibbs mouthpieces are made from solid sterling silver (92.5% pure) which enables players to explore a delightful range of tones previously unavailable to saxophone players and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Silver has long been renowned for purity and clarity of tone and these mouthpieces are free from any form of plating.

Technical Information

Every mouthpiece is cast in one piece (similar to a bell). The metal is directionally solidified in the mold with the Tip being the first point of solidification and the shank the last. This aligns the crystals in the same direction (tip to shank) and makes the silver extremely hard as if it had been extensively hammered. However perhaps the most important property of this crystal alignment is sound is transmitted in one direction only...into the saxophone.

Manufacturing a mouthpiece from silver allows one to create a design that would be overly dark in brass (or gold). The higher frequencies become more pronounced when using silver. Drop a silver ring along side a brass ring onto an anvil and listen to the difference.

We build our mouthpieces exploiting this phenomenon giving rich warm sounds with a bright silver aura. This sound which projects well, is loved by microphones and audiences.

We believe there is no equal to the quality of our mouthpieces. We ask you to try them for yourself.

We make a life-long commitment to our products and consider it our responsibility to repair promptly and inexpensively any damage that befalls our MPCs'. Being free of any plating usually makes repairs or restoration a very straight forward job.
