ABSTRACT:
A mouthpiece is disclosed which has an internal sympathetic reed for use with single reed woodwind musical instruments, such as saxophones, clarinets, and the like. With the mouthpiece of the present invention, a tone is produced which is altered to suit particular needs of musical composers. An altered tone which is brighter and livelier is produced, rather than the more subdued altered tones, which are commonly produced with mutes of various types for use with various instruments. Accordingly, with the present invention, a wide range of tone qualities is possible to expand the range of artistic effects obtainable with common reed-type musical instruments.
