Words from the artist:

"My Syos offers bass clarinetists a unique range of dynamics that are crucial to perform in acoustic settings without a microphone. It has unmatched power and projection necessary to be heard when the band gets louder and tempos are faster but it also has a flexibility that retains the natural warmth of the bass clarinet's tone."

CHARACTERISTICS

With its extra high baffle, the Todd Marcus mouthpiece is pretty extreme in terms of power and projection. Its trapezoidal chamber, however, allows the natural warmth of the instrument to shine through.

Todd Marcus plays with a 12* tip opening.

Bass Clarinet

Tip opening chart

Bass clarinetist, composer, and bandleader Todd Marcus is one of the few jazz artists worldwide to focus their work primarily on the bass clarinet. Marcus’ straight-ahead playing has carved out a unique voice for the instrument in modern jazz. His music swings hard with both a fiery and introspective intensity but also maintains a strong lyrical sensibility. Marcus actively leads small ensembles such as the Todd Marcus Quintet, Quartet, Trio, and Duo as well as his nine piece ensemble The Todd Marcus Jazz Orchestra on original compositions and jazz standards. Self taught in jazz theory and composition, Marcus’ compositions draw largely on straight-ahead jazz and classical influences but over recent years have also increasingly explored the MiddleEastern sounds from his Egyptian-American heritage.

Instrument: Low Eb Selmer Privilege

WHAT IS SYOS?

THE GAME CHANGER

Syos stands for Shape Your Own Sound. The technology and the science behind our saxophone and clarinet mouthpieces come from years of research at IRCAM, the worldwide reference in terms of acoustics and sound technologies.

The meeting between Pauline, PhD in acoustics, and Maxime, PhD in auditory perception, started the creation and development of a new and original way of designing instruments.

Using proprietary material SCAL3D we craft mouthpieces with the highest degree of precision, with improved resistance and durability and the largest choice of chamber geometries, baffle types and colors on the market.

Syos mouthpieces are played by an ever-growing roster of international artists.

Get to know the mouthpiece

I bought a Todd Marcus Bass Clarinet SYOS mouthpiece.....Was looking for something with lots more projection than a Vandoren B44. Reading the other reviews and checking out Todd's live videos, I liked what I was hearing and reading. I've played many styles of music over 35+ years, predominantly jazz, Latin and a few others mixed in. I was previously using Java #4 green box tenor sax reed on my B44 Vandoren and struggled to be heard in a jazz combo/big band scenario.

When I received the SYOS mouthpiece I struggled to even make a sound, was producing squeeks everywhere...I was confused and was considering a refund. However, I came back to the SYOS a few days in a row, gradually dropping reed sizes. I'm now playing on a #2 Vandoren Blue box OR #2 Legere Signature......And am getting what I wanted. I get So much more projection with an increased dynamic range (double). I can't imagine going back. Has cleared up the fuzzy notes on my Wooden LeBlance Bass Clarinet. I Love it...Recommended....Expect to Drop a couple of reed sizes.. Be Patient.

Absolutely Amazing

I play bass clarinet as a double in a big band and I found that volume really was lacking. This mouthpiece helped me with that problem tremendously, it makes the low register really focused and present while keeping the higher register very resonant. Absolutely love this mouthpiece and I don't plan to switch mouthpieces any time soon.

Becco Todd Marcus per clarinetto basso

Grande potenza di suono e facilità di emissione. I registri sonori di tutte le ottave sono omogenei, anche nelle note che solitamente, nel clarinetto basso, risultano più soffocate e meno risonanti. Todd Marcus e la Syos hanno creato il bocchino per chi vuole un suono caldo, ampio, potente. Nonostante ciò lo strumento si mantiene facile da controllare, anche nei pianissimo. Credo che anche chi fa musica classica dovrebbe provare questo becco. All'inizio si rimane un po' diffidenti, soprattutto guardando la camera trapezioidale del becco, che sembra apparentemente chiuso. Ma suonandolo con le giuste ance (leggere, io uso una légère signature 2,5 leggermente ritoccata con carta vetrata nella parte inferiore) si otterranno grandissimi risultati e grandi emozioni.
