Yamaha 32 tenor saxophone5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() The Sakshama Branford Marsalis model tenor saxophone mouthpiece is made of Delrin which is a polyoxymethylene thermoplastic. It is perfect for playing mainstream jazz with the “harder” sound Branford is known for. It has a large bore and chamber and a moderate baffle. This is an exact replica of the mouthpiece played by Branford Marsalis. I found this quote describing the original Guardala Branford Marsalis mouthpiece on the Dave Guardala handout flyer from 1990: Sakshama Branford Marsalis Delrin Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece I have read that Branford Marsalis played a Guardala tenor sax mouthpiece in the 80’s and 90’s (not sure when he switched to something else) and I have always been curious about what kind of baffle and chamber Branford’s Guardala tenor mouthpiece had in it. Today, I am reviewing a Sakshama Branford Marsalis model Delrin tenor saxophone mouthpiece that I bought used online because I was curious about this tenor sax mouthpiece.
