Jazz Lab SAXSILENCER Mouthpiece Silencer for Woodwind Instrument - Grey

I wasn't sure about this practise tool, but combined with the material that is shipped and by following the exercises, my tone is improving.Initially, it was hard to blow, but eventually it has allowed me to focus on different aspects of embouchure, diaphragm and breathing.TIP: It is worth looking online (YouTube) if you find that initially you get no sound!

If you buy this product definitely it will help if you don't want to stress your neighbours. The problem is the price which in my opinion is for the idea of the product not for the quality of it.

To get the best results try to use it every day.

The only thing I can give five 🌟 is delivery. Far overpriced item, there is far too many bits.All I needed was silencer + alto adaptor, the price could be dramatically reduced if you only get what you need. The CD is rubbish, no tips on it. Just an advertisement. All in all it does help a great deal with ambiture.

Great for embouchure, throat position and breathing correctly. I use it everyday.

Product was not fit for purpose when it arrived there were parts missing and some of the parts ie the main part that you need was different to the one that was supposed to be in the box and was held together with silver duct tape

Unremarkable plastic mouldings that I can't believe cost anything like what this item is sold for.I have problems producing any "note" at all with this item - either with alto, tenor or clarinet mouthpieces. I have no problem producing decent-sounding notes on the instruments themselves.I don't think there's any way I can be using it wrong (there's only one way to put it together for example) so I think it might require an embouchure all its own. This might even be detrimental to my playing.So may or may not work for you, but a waste of time and money for me.UPDATE:Having screwed the device together as tight as I could, I can now at least get a note out of it. It does seem to require an embouchure all its own.For a silencer, it's still quite loud and of a pitch you can hear it from an adjacent room. I wouldn't be happy taking it to a hotel to help maintain my embouchure for example.So - summary remains: stupidly expensive, and of limited use.

I bought this because I live in an apartment block, and as a professional sax player I practice every day, especially to keep my embouchure face muscles toned up.I found this to be utterly useless when trying to get any sounds out. I advise you not to waste any time or money on this. It went into my plastic recycling bin out of frustration, after persevering for a week with it. 😭

Sehr gutes Tool
