The Presence mouthpiece from the Bergonzi Masters Series is Aaron Drake’s tribute to the iconic short shank Soloist models, famously played by tenor greats like Joe Henderson. It captures the essence of that legendary sound: full, rich, deep, and haunting.
There is a “U” shaped chamber with flat side walls, a design that produces a warm, resonant core and allows for a controlled yet vibrant projection. Drake’s unique modifications make this classic-inspired design more accessible to modern players. Tip opening is a 7* (.105”).
This piece will be a staple in your setup for many years!
