I’ve never thrown a pot, but thanks to a 3D printer I’m suddenly making ceramics.

Mouthpiece Mashup Mark 2
Here’s the second-generation prototype of a soprano sax / trumpet mouthpiece hybrid. This was printed on a Makerbot Replicator 2X. I modeled the soprano sax mouthpiece base and appended the geometry of a Bach 1-1/2C trumpet mouthpiece found on Thingiverse. The trumpet cup is a bit roomier than the previous prototype; I think I’ll try a trombone-sized cup next. Here’s the STL file so you can download, modify and print your own.
Whenever I try this mouthpiece on my horn my son yells at me to “Stop that horrible noise!” So it must be working…
3D Printed Soprano Sax Mouthpiece
This is my first working prototype for a series of experimental soprano sax mouthpieces. This model marries a trumpet or french horn-style cup with a sax mouthpiece neck. Thanks to Jamey Grimes for last-minute 3D modeling kung-fu.
