Syos Reviews 153

My son loves his Syos piece! We had to return the first one, and the process was quick.

"As with every SYOS mouthpiece in my collection, this Smoky Alto Original is a gem. It is very versatile going from loud and large with a lush sound to soft and sweet with a beautiful sound. The pitch is very accurate and the tone is full throughout. I find it playable for all genres as it is fairly flexible. Go for it, you won't lose."

Guter Kundenservice netter Kontakt ! Aber natürlich auch die hervorragende Qualität der Mundstücke toller Sound leichte Ansprache einfach toll !

Je joue Syos depuis 2018, j’ai vu passer pas mal de becs, des signatures, des freaks… du bec de Dan Forshaw à celui de CLB, je voulais quelque chose de plus équilibré et très malléable alors je me suis tourné vers celui d’Eddie Rich. Exactement ce que je cherchais. N’hésitez pas ! Et de manière plus globale, je teste mes autres becs métal ou ébonite de temps en temps, mais je reviens toujours sur Syos. « Y a pas photo ! » bon sax 🎷 à tous

Un temps d'adaptation m'a été nécessaire pour tirer le meilleur parti du bec. J'avais initialement commandé un steady ouverture 6, mais un peu trop brillant pour le son que je souhaitais produire, et du mal à stabiliser le son. Donc j'ai demandé un échange pour le smoky ouverture 5. L'échange s'est très bien passé avec l'équipe de SYOS, merci pour la réactivité. J'apprécie bien le bec smoky, le son est chaleureux et mat, modulable de doux à puissant. Il offre beaucoup de possibilités. Le bec, l'anche, la façon de monter l'anche sur le bec parfois à un 1/2 mm près, l'embouchure, TOUT compte pour la qualité du son. A noter que mes compagnons de jeu musical ont trouvé ce changement de bec positif et m'ont encouragée pour mes progrès de sonorité. Expérience positive, donc, merci à toute votre équipe pour cette belle aventure que vous partagez avec nous.

"I purchased the Smokey Bari Sax mouthpiece for large concert band performances. It is perfect. It gives the Bari a beautiful classical sound that blends well within the ensemble. I highly recommend."

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with SYOS.

What you get with SYOS you can't get with any other brand that I know of -something taylored to yopur needs.

They are friendly people to deal with and make sure you get what you want.

Thanks Kim / SYOS!

En novembre 2024 lors de l'achat de mon bec j'avais laissé un avis très positif sur la réactivité et la sympathie du service client. (avis toujours valable d'ailleurs)
MAIS depuis 10 mois j'ai joué avec le bec et je dois dire qu'après des débuts très positifs, je me suis trouvé après quelques mois avec un bec qui ne me convenait plus du tout.
J'ai changé d'anches (j'ai même acheté des Syos) et j'ai un son de m... à tel point que je suis repassé sur mon bec selmer d'origine.
je précise que je joue de l'alto depuis 22 ans sur un selmer référence 54.
Mon bec Syos est au fond d'un tiroir

"Many thanks to Syos who provided this replacement mouthpiece. I purchased a pair of Freaks last November and received a Smoky 7 and Spark 8. I had been hoping to try a Syos mouthpiece for some time, and this provided me a great opportunity to try this range of mouthpieces. Both the Smoky and Spark are great. I found the Smoky more versatile. But it developed a crack in the beak. I asked Syos what could be done, and after some photos, they provided a replacement. Thank you Syos and Kim at Syos."

Acheté lors d’un voyage à Paris
D’une aisance inouïe et un contrôle sur tout le registre de l’instrument
Je le recommande
Merci Syos

"I would also like to share my experience with BG DUO Ligature Silver Plated for Tenor Saxophone, received free with my latest purchase Syos. I must say that the experience is very positive, a very effective reed locking system that increases the quality of the final sound. Thanks Syos!"

I performed a gig last night on my new Syos mouthpiece on my tenor. It sounded beautiful. The range was excellent and tone was even throughout the range of the instrument. I am so into these mouthpieces that I bought one for my alto and bari saxes and my bass clarinet. I love these!

Syos people are friendly to deal with and flexible.
I play several different tenor pieces according to what music and what fits the venue. Syos is the only company that makes that an affordable practice. Syos is one of a kind and more players should try to work with them instead of getting old vintage pieces refaced and hoping it works. Or paying a fortune for a boutique piece that is based on that maker´s interpretation of a vintage piece.

This mouthpiece has made a big impact on the way I play. I’m a professional player, so I have always sought the right equipment. However, I was sceptical about Syos. I took the plunge and found that I could play everything as before but with more freedom. The sax suddenly become easier to play and I could play with more expression.
Thank you.

The Sound is good.Less force is required. It responds well. I'd be interested to know how one could further optimize it for oneself, requiring even less force, and thus playing very quietly. To what extent the shape of the jaw plays a role in the mouthpiece."

I don't know more the date when i orderd the mouthpiece

It works great! So much easier than a thumb screw ligature. No difference in tone and the color is cool. Got one for my alto too.

I bought a Spark 5 a year ago and have tons of fun playing with it. I was offered an anniversary discount (which was a brilliant marketing move) and bought this Smoky 6 trying to see how big a difference a mouthpiece could make. I must say, the difference is truly remarkable. The Smoky gives a rich, warm tone while still incredibly easy to blow. I think I am still a Spark guy. But every now and then, using the Smoky to play some oldies feel relaxing and at ease.

"I needed a dark mouthpiece that I could control while playing small venues. The Smokey 6 did that for me. I can control the volume as needed. While playing a larger venue I just add a sax microphone. Very satisfied."

An attractive object - I chose white to contrast with a black mouthpiece. My first ring ligature and it's easy to use, of course. But the welcome surprise is that the bass clarinet speaks more freely and easily than it did with a metal/screw mouthpiece. Thank you Syos.
