For over 75 years Claude Lakey and Nick Bogden have excelled in helping saxophone and clarinet musicians “find their voice”. This process is one that continues today with Claude Lakey products.

Claude Lakey Original Mouthpieces
	Alto Sax Mouthpiece All six alto mouthpieces are handcrafted differently and have various characteristics. They all have a high baffle but differ in the facing, tip opening and chamber size which allows for noticeable changes from one model to another. Each model plays differently and has differing overtone structures. All mouthpieces are tested using Hemke 2, or 2 ½ strength reeds.
	Tenor Sax Mouthpiece The tenor handcrafted mouthpieces are traditionally bright but many players with a willingness to experiment with different reeds, ligatures and ligature placement have achieved a darker sound. All six mouthpieces are different in the facing, chamber and tip opening. We use either Rico or La Voz 2 or 2 ½ strength reeds to test the tenor mouthpieces. We have been told by many tenor players that “given time to learn how to play these tenor mouthpieces, they can surpass any metal mouthpiece made”.
	Soprano Sax Mouthpiece The soprano mouthpieces have a full rich sound up and down the instrument and are very popular with soprano players that double or solo. They have a round chamber and are hand faced and tested to insure consistency.
	Clarinet Mouthpiece The clarinet mouthpiece is great for players who double and is considered a great jazz mouthpiece

Claude Lakey Metal Mouthpieces
	Brass Alto Mouthpiece The brass alto mouthpiece has a medium low baffle with a round chamber and medium facing. Free blowing with a rich full tonal quality in all ranges of the horn makes this mouthpiece popular for lead alto, straight ahead jazz, but also blends nicely in section work. The only difference in these mouthpieces is the tip opening which is reflected in the number.
	Brass Tenor Mouthpiece The brass tenor mouthpiece has a medium low baffle with a round chamber and a medium facing. This mouthpiece is arguably one of the better mouthpieces made for tenor. Free blowing and a rich full tonal quality in all ranges of the horn makes this mouthpiece popular for straight ahead jazz, big band sections, R & B, or concert work.
	Brass Soprano Mouthpiece The brass soprano mouthpiece has a low baffle with a round chamber and medium facing. The only variance in these mouthpieces is the tip opening which is reflected by the number. With a rich, full sound without the buzz of other soprano mouthpieces, this is one that all soprano players should try.
	Aluminum Alto Mouthpiece The aluminum alto mouthpiece has a medium low baffle with a round chamber and medium facing. Free blowing and a rich full tonal quality in all ranges of the horn make this mouthpiece popular for contemporary work as it really cuts and can’t be shut down. The only difference in these mouthpieces is the tip opening.
	Aluminum Tenor Mouthpiece The aluminum tenor mouthpiece has a medium low baffle with a round chamber and a medium short facing. This mouthpiece is arguably one of the better mouthpieces made for tenor. Free blowing and a rich full tonal quality in all ranges of the horn make this mouthpiece popular for contemporary work. Your sound will be great through a sound system. The only difference in these mouthpieces is the tip opening.
