The Sugal KW III 365 +s TAM
Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
SKU 1410G
REVIEW OF THE KW III + s 365 TAM
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 mpcs. is a very different process. IM mpcs are produced from polycarbonate or plastic - you see the market flooded with IM mpcs them come mostly from China.
All of our TAM series retain the same attributes as our CNC mouthpieces. They include a 94 % pure copper body that are 18KT Heavy Gold Plated (or optional Sterling Silver plated)
The Sugal KW III365 TAM is a perfect metal tenor mouthpiece for players seeking to project an amazing centered free blowing sound.
The "NEW" TAM will clearly define his or her own individuality for those who aspire to the sound Kirk Whalum - and NOW is available at a very affordable price.
The Sugal KW III TAM 365 was designed via a Technologically Advanced Methodology (TAM) TAM , is an advanced rapid prototyping process that delivers a fine crisp 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" "kazooish" or nasal.
One of the very first things you will notice in the KW III TAM 365, is that it appears to have the same design and features as found in the original KW II models that were made especially by Sugal for Kirk Whalum over the past three decades.
Although the technology used to create the mouthpiece is dramatically different, the results are incredible. Using steel molds is a less expensive manufacturing process.
This 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 TAM 365 is designed to have a more substantial, beefier mouth feel and is 18 Karat Heavy Gold Electroplated*. (or can be Sterling Silver finished)
The "NEW" Sugal KW III 365 TAM also features their famous parallel refined mini–tracks allowing the metal to breathe or expand for spot on intonation and maximum resonation.
The Sugal KW III (T.A.M.) 365 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 a solid full-bodied focused cutting sound.
Reminiscent of the Kirk Whalum and Gerald Albright sound, the KW III365 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 brittle, nasal resonance, while at the same time focus a very accurate and controlled response.

The KW III (T.A.M.)365 (HGE) Heavy Gold Electroplated –is plated to last literally for decades
*Note that 14kt, 18kt and 24kt are only color or shades of gold and should not be confused as to an actual gold content amount. Industry gold plating is measured in the amount of “mills” that are adhered via the playing process on to the mouthpiece.
The norm or “standard” for gold plated mouthpieces in the industry is 25 mills. While most other makers do not come close to reaching even the “standard” all our gold plated “HGE “ mouthpieces for long life and durability Sugal mouthpieces exceed the norm or “standard” in the industry .
Meticulously hand finished and play tested by master artisan G.Sugl prior to leaving the factory.
