Warre Van de Putte - Syos

Warre Van de Putte

It’s been a real struggle finding a decent mouthpiece that fits well with my really old horn, but the moment I put the Syos on, I felt it click. It is so easy to play the whole range of my instrument, to play dynamically and to adapt to different genres. I love the powerful yet semi-dark sounds it produces, and the easiness of switching between hard/edgy and soft playing.
