Testimonial from Jerome Sabbagh

“The Aizen tenor mouthpiece works extremely well in all registers, it sounds great and projects very well. It’s even, balanced, easy to play and it has just the right amount of resistance. It allows the player to shape the sound much in the way that the great mouthpieces of the past do. I very much recommend it.”
