Randy Brecker: „Juergen Hagenlocher plays with a full bodied tone and has a fresh conception brimming with new ideas“

Gottsu Sepia Tone

„Gottsu Sepia Tone mouthpieces are the best mouthpieces I ever played. Great Sound and easy to play.“ I was searching for my old Otto Link sound, after playing several years Dave Guardala Crescent mouthpiece. In january 2013, I discovered by accident Gottsu Sepia Tone mouthpieces and was very taken from it from the first note that I played on it. It was the sound that I was looking for since years. The sound of my old Otto Link mouthpiece, but with much more depth and very easy to play. Also I was able to play louder with less effort. Playing large intervals, subtones and hightones, everything is much easier to play. The sound is a big, fat sound, but also with overtones, it reminds a little bit of Dexter Gordons sound. Since “Musikmesse Frankfurt” I play the Sepia Tone VI 9. This mouthpiece is a little bit darker and a tiny bit fatter than the Sepia Tone. VI stands for vintage and this conception works out 100%.
