SYOS have developed these Artist Models in association with top players in the current generation. This Michael Wilbur model features a rollover baffle and medium chamber giving a warm all-round tone, but still with plenty of projection. 

Current Tip Opening offered: 8 star.

Please note: SYOS produce 2 different versions of this mouthpiece. One designed for modern bass saxes, and one specifically designed to be compatible with vintage bass saxes (such as Conns). As standard we carry the version for modern bass saxes as part of our stock. So if you have a vintage bass, please let us know either in the notes field on the order, or by emailing [email protected].

Description

This mouthpiece has already gone through the unique customization process that SYOS are famous for, therefore in choosing this mouthpiece you are buying into the exact technical specifications of the artist Michael Wilbur.

Create Your Sound

Syos stands for Shape Your Own Sound. The technology and the science behind their mouthpieces have been developed during many years of research in acoustics. A mouthpiece that helps musicians to get the sound they like more easily means just more freedom for him when he plays! 

Plastic is chic

SYOS use ABS plastic to craft their mouthpieces: this material allows them to get the highest degree of precision, with an improved resistance and durability. And you can get that in 18 colours to build a perfect style on stage!

A unique technology

Syos mouthpieces were born at Ircam, the worldwide reference in terms of research on music and sound technologies. The meeting between Pauline, specialist of wind instruments, and Maxime, auditory perception expert, started the creation and development of a new and original way of crafting instruments.

Staff Review

I had a ball playing on this mouthpiece when I was preparing for a video showcasing our two Contrbasses that we had at the time!  The CEO of SYOS Pauline Eveno handed it to me  to try when she was visiting the UK for a series of events; I was immediately impressed with ease of sound production that oozed through this piece.  It has a very uniform tone throughout and it has the ability to cut through at any point in the bass sax range.  A joy to play.
