C Melody Saxophone Forum / Mouthpieces Reeds and Ligatures / Dukoff

Karen User ID: 2547224	Sep 11th 4:22 PM I currently play a Lakey jazz rubber mouthpiece on my Selmer Mark IV in an 18 piece Big Band. I am interested in trying a Dukoff metal. Any suggestions? D7, D8???
Castaway User ID: 9182423	Sep 11th 5:10 PM I use a Dukoff mouthpiece on my Yss62 Soprano sax. It warks just fine. Just a word of wisdom. They used to advertize that the Dukoff contained a secret ingredient in their mouthpieces. My friend who is a metalurgist had one analyzed. Guess what the secret ingredient was? It was Tin. Go figure.
