I really love my tenor Super Gonz2 mpc for more than 10 Years and its still my no1 mpc. I dont use the sugal ligature and never had any problem

I guess that means no one has a Sugal Mouthpiece? Never mind.

I had Gary make a Super Gonz I copper mouthpiece size 8 facing for me a few years ago. I must admit at first I was very leery about it. I had tried his SG II copper from the WWBW and it was a great mpc. but way too bright for my taste. After I ordered and received the custom piece I was skeptical. The interior chamber looked like he took a metal etcher/engraver pen to it. It was scratched up. As it turns out that was his "finishing touch" to the inside of the mouthpiece. I used it for a while and I never really cared for it because it played rather stuffy and it was finicky with reeds. About a month ago I met another person who was using the same mouthpiece as mine only his was a lot older (it looked like a penny since all the gold plating wore off). He played my piece and showed me a different way to attach the ligature. This made all the difference in the world. It's like playing a different mouthpiece. It's very freeblowing and every reed I've used works well with it. I was actually going to sell it but now I never will. It also bumped it up in status to my main piece (my Guardala Crescent being my new back-up piece) Enough about my story. The baffle is textured with lines that start from the tip and extend to the chamber. I really can't testify weather this is really necessary or if it sets his pieces apart from the rest. All I know is that my piece plays beautifully. Like a Link only not nearly as stuffy and a bit brighter. It's capable of whispering sub tones all over the horn at pp especially the low end as well as blasting the paint off the wall at fff. Altissimo are easy to pop out and the 1st altissimo G and A are usually stuffy on my horn but with the Sugal Mpc they sound full and tonally consistent with the front (fork) F and E in the normal range. I paid a pretty penny for this piece but after a new found interest, it was well worth the price. I will never sell it. Sorry to go on a rant like this but I am long winded sometimes
