Master 2018

The Master is the flagship model of Gottu’s metal mouthpiece lineup.  Masahiko Goto studied the brass composition of vintage mouthpieces, and selected the most similar brass from which to make metal mouthpieces. This model has one more process of plating the brass with Nickel and 18K-gold after the hand-finishing process. The mouthpiece features a deep, dark, soft sound, and clear tone for sub-tone. 

 

I wanted to make a mouthpiece that allows me to make the same sound as an artist I respect; it became the Master2018. Every time I see the vintage mouthpieces, I am impressed by the quality and craftsmanship in the mouthpieces. That prodded me to make the mouthpieces with new technology, a 5-axis machining center. I referred the design of a certain vintage mouthpiece that was favored by Coleman Hawkins and Benjamin Francis Webster, and made adjustments to improve and suit it for today’s music style. This is my favorite model!!!
