The Sugal KW III + s 365 TAM
STERLING SILVER FINISH
Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
SKU 1410-GS3
In 1987 we were the first firm in the world to design and build a four and half axis CNC machining center dedicated to producing saxophone mouthpieces.
Today, almost forty years later we are pleased to introduce another revolutionary and cost effective process to produce saxophone mouthpieces called TAM.
Utilizing our in house cad/cam software we designed a series of steel molds that enable us manufacture high quality metal mouthpieces.
Note:
Our mouthpieces are not "injected molded". Injected molded mouthpieces happens to be a very different manufacturing process. IM mouthpieces are produced from polycarbonate or plastic - today the market is flooded with mass produced IM mouthpieces that come mostly out of China.
All of our TAM series retain the same attributes as our CNC mouthpieces. They include a 94 % pure copper body which is plated with a "HEAVY STERLING SILVER FINSIH
The Sugal KW III 365 TAM is a perfect metal tenor mouthpiece for players seeking to project an amazing "sizzling" centered free blowing sound.
The "NEW" TENOR TAMS will clearly define his or her own individuality for those who aspire to the sound of Kirk Whalum - Gerald Albright Euge Goove. This model is NOW available at a very affordable price.
The Sugal KW III TAM 365 was designed via a Technologically Advanced Methodology (TAM). TAM represents an advanced rapid prototyping process that we have developed. This technology offers a very fine smooth surface finish and outstanding resonance with close tolerances. The KW III TAM utilizes Sugal’s proprietary copper metal formulation (94% pure copper body) to resonate without sounding "gritty" "suffy" "kazooish" or nasal.
One of the very first things you will notice in all the KW III +s TAM 365 models is that it has the same design and features found in the original KW II models. The KW II 's were especially made by Sugal for Kirk Whalum and Gerald Albright over the past three decades.
Although TAM technology used to create the mouthpiece is dramatically different than CNC manufacturing - the results are incredible. The use of steel molds is a less expensive manufacturing process.
The KW III +s model is perfectly suited for all levels of musicianship at unusually competitive pricing.
IN ADDITION :
Sugal now laser enhances the side, tip rails and body of all his mouthpieces. A crisp clean swept table is also created by laser treatment allowing for tremendous edge, projection enhanced articulation.
The Sugal KW III +s TAM 365 Sterling Silver version is designed to have a more substantial beefier feel in the mouth and has a Sterling Silver finished.
The "NEW" Sugal KW III +s TAM 365 Sterling Silver platd model features our famous parallel refined mini–tracks allowing the metal to breathe or expand for spot on intonation and maximum resonation.
The Sugal KW III +s TAM 365 Sterling Silver plated mouthpiece has a rich, bright, soulful, centered sound. It also features a medium to large chamber with a machined raised roll-over snow-hill styled baffle allowing for an outstanidng solid full-bodied focused cutting sound.
Reminiscent of the Kirk Whalum and Gerald Albright sound, the KW III 365 TAM has an ease of playability from low Bb right into the altissimo.
Players will find that the overall dynamics and blend of the copper formula helps to eliminate a stuffy, brittle, nasal resonance, while at the same time focus a very accurate clear and controlled response.
