Guardala Mouthpiece with Ligature, Cap and Elk-Leatherbag
Handmade mouthpieces are meticulously optimized, the smooth surfaces and exceptionally precise handwork make them play more easy and very consistent and reliable.
FATBOY mouthpieces are fatter than the original Guardala’s. The elliptical shape allows the mouthpiece to have a larger size, with a lesser increase of weight. The resulting size/weight ratio is the only way of producing a “BALANCED SOUND” with a mouthpiece larger than the original Dave Guardala Mouthpiece.
An exact replica of the mouthpiece played by Brandford Marsalis, it has a large bore/ chamber and a moderate baffle. It’ ideal for playing mainstream Jazz with the “herder” sound Brandford is known for.
