Dave Guardala M. Brecker II Tenor SP 8*

It delivers an incredibly bright, focused, and powerful sound with effortless projection in the upper register and altissimo. The high baffle gives it that iconic, cutting fusion/pop edge while maintaining a rich core.

With a tip opening of 8*, this is a serious mouthpiece designed for players with strong embouchure control. For my personal setup and air support, the 8* opening turned out to be a bit too open to maintain long-term comfort during intense sessions, requiring softer reeds than I typically prefer.

An incredible instrument for players looking for that bright, aggressive Brecker sound with maximum projection. Just be mindful of choosing the right tip opening for your embouchure strength!

Let's be honest, if you're looking for Guardala MPC's chances are you're coming from the 80's (until now) side of Jazz, unmistakably Michael Brecker and/or Branford Marsalis and so on... You're looking for an edge (whether on the dark or bright spectrum of sound) not easily obtainable by chance or from many brands out there. You like metal MPC's but many are scared by Dukoff (i personally played them for almost 30 years now and i love'em) and not totally satisfied by the rounded sound of OttoLink... Well, this is definitely the way you want to go! The idea of putting the "Studio" and "MB" together really gives this MPC something that both puts you at ease in terms of resistance, sound projection, quality and "Cut through" when soloing. The material is incredible and though the inside features are quite unusual, the sound speaks for itself. The response and attack are just incredible, everything is so well defined. Quick passages are heard note by note now! Last concerts with Mike Stern proved me right as by the time i had to "come out", effortlessly, intentions just came alive. So far i played with Java Red #2 and Rico SJ #2 Medium and Olegature ligature. My sound was always (between various instruments) a mix of Sanborn/Marienthal/Brecker but this MPC let me play WAY more than that. If you think about an MPS Guardala, stop thinking. Grab it and enjoy yourself more than you were used to!!! Cheers, Sam.
