NF .108 Features:
- Inspired by Frank Wells' legendary modifications to Otto Link®
mouthpieces from the '60's (Frank was John Coltrane's mouthpiece technician)
- Rollover baffle uses ToneFacet™ Proprietary Geometric Design Technology
for a very expressive and flexible sound with great projection
- Scooped sidewalls start halfway into the medium-large chamber to maximize
efficiency and keep the great "Link" core to the sound -- without
the stuffiness
- Geometry optimized for the most popular tip opening
(.108")
- Made from chemically stable, food-safe FDA-approved cast acrylic, with
a resilience similar to hard rubber
- Highly precise computerized machining with hand finishing
ensures exacting consistency between pieces
Price: $250 + $10 shipping/handling

Saxscape is proud to introduce the first model in the Pro Series
of mouthpieces.
The Pro Series, the result of literally thousands of hours of testing
and customer feedback, starts by introducing the NF .108 opening. This
has proven to be one of the most popular Saxscape models and tip openings.
The NF .108 was inspired by the craftsmanship of the great Frank Wells,
world renowned mouthpiece technician for John Coltrane.
The Pro Series maintains the high quality of previous Saxscape mouthpieces but has more of the production completed by computerized milling machine. Hand finishing is still done on the final steps to bring the tolerances to within the last .001 inch.
Pro Series mouthpieces will be in stock ready to ship, and will be available
through dealers.
