Doug Lawrence, a big supporter of this project was kind enough to share his words and thoughts on these pieces.

“I have been playing metal Otto Link mouthpieces that Marin Spivack has worked on and perfected for over 20 years. From “Double Rings” to “No USA’s” (my preference of the two designs), I can honestly say that I have never played a mouthpiece that Marin has done that wasn’t really great. His work is the most consistant of any mouthpiece tech I have ever played. It is really mind blowing how Marin can get so much out of Link. I don’t know anyone else that can do it like he does. Now Marin is making his own mouthpieces! I am proud and thrilled to say that I have acquired six of his new design “Moonbeam” mouthpieces in the last few months. They are all different combinations of alloys, which makes each of them have their own unique sound. They are all exceptionally great in their own way. So much so, that I am playing his “Moonbeams” exclusively now. For a journeyman tenor saxophonist who makes his living playing the horn, playing these “Moonbeam” mouthpieces is making my life as a professional musician so much easier. The sound I get out of these is phenomenal, the scale is perfect and they are all reed friendly. What more can you ask for? Needless to say, I highly recommend the new “Moonbeam”mouthpieces by Marin Spivack. Try one out, you won’t be sorry “ – Doug Lawrence
How are they made?
