Dave Guardala Super King Tenor SP

Firstly; I am a soloist wanting a crisp, bright, and powerful sound, as I am booked several times weekly to perform for audiences wanting a party atmosphere. I've ordered so many mouthpieces in the last few years, trying out flagship models from the most popular manufacturers boasting advanced features and technologies, only to find fresh appreciation for my 30+ year-old original Dave Guardala (my go-to). I use this new Super King as my back up. These MPs are sleek, lightweight, excellently finished, and most importantly mine plays and sounds great! The only two things I've changed are 1) The Ligature, which I've swapped out for a Rovner Dark 2M because I find the DG ligature a tad too sticky, which makes fine reed adjustments too time consuming for me, and 2) I've carefully but generously softened the sharpish leading-edge that slides over the sax's neck-cork... I noted no change in the colour of the metal.
