Testimonial from Tingquan Lu

I have tried various brands of mouthpiece throughout my music carrier. I have been looking for mouthpieces of my ideal sound, with ease of playing. Finally, I am cheerful to find the sound playing Aizen ” Jazz Master” mouthpieces.

I find that the sound is soft and deep, compared with other markers. Aizen mouthpiece is easy to play, the sound is even through all the range of the horn.

I like the buzzy sound, that’s why I always pick up the mouthpiece with adequate resistance and control. With low resistance, it is hard to have the sound that I like, unless I change my embochure to fit the mouthpiece.

Aizen ” Jazz Master” helps me to solve those problems, I can have the warm buzzy sound with adequate resistance during the performance. That is so “Wonderful !”. I love “Jazz Master”, I love “Aizen”!.
