Dave Guardala Changed Saxophone Mouthpiece Making Forever
In the 1980’s Dave Guardala raised the bar for the saxophone mouthpiece industry. Working closely with one of our greatest jazz saxophonists Michael Brecker, Guardala took his new creative ideas to the more precise, never before used CNC (Computer Numerical Control Milling Machine) which had never been used prior to this in the industry. It opened the doors to a previously unheard level of precision in mouthpiece-making technology.
I purchased my first Guardala MB mouthpiece from Dave in 1990, the 2nd one, a Guardala King a few years later and have been using these exclusively ever since.
Since Dave got away from the business these mouthpieces have been heavily sought after and selling privately and on eBay for prices reaching up to $2000 USD and now even beyond that.

MB II “FATBOY”
Original Chamber ( 8* or 0.116″ ) FATBOY mouthpieces are fatter than the original made by Dave Guardala. It’s elliptical shape allows the mouthpiece to have a larger size, with a lesser increase of weight. The resulting size/weight ratio is the only way of producing a “BALANCED SOUND” with a mouthpiece larger than Dave’s original 1980’s model.
Available for Tenor in Silver and Gold
silver 460 euros = $534 USD
gold 530 euros = $615 USD
Guardala King – R&B
This is the second brightest and compact of the Alto models. It’s designed to reproduce the sound of King Curtis, the king of rock and roll and R&B sax. This mouthpiece incorporates a high baffle with a small chamber. This mouthpiece can be used for the same types of Music as the SuperKing/ R&B. For players who are acquainted with high baffle small bore mouthpieces, it can be used for Mainstream Bebop, Jazz, Blues, R&B, Rock & Roll and Contemporary/Pop.
