Emma Johnson

I'm not one to mess around with my set-up, but I couldn't be happier since getting my SYOS mouthpiece and can't believe the difference it's made to my sound. This mouthpiece has meant I've been able to keep the warm, dark elements of my tone but gain loads more projection and presence, which is ideal for my work as a bandleader and soloist. It's super comfortable to play and works well in all of the settings I use it in, from blending with a section to holding it's own alongside a loud band. Amazing!
