“This mouthpiece has cover, warmth, vibrancy and ease of articulation. It is extremely even across the registers and plays well in tune. It is a combination of a lot of the things I look for in the many mouthpieces I’ve played over my career. In my career I need a mouthpiece that can do many different things such as play chamber music, play a Mahler symphony, play excerpts and concertos. This does it. We’re very excited to introduce it to the world.”

“As I have witnessed Anthony’s talents since he was in high school, his many years in opera, orchestral and solo playing, my biggest challenge in design was to find a voice in this McGill Signature mouthpiece that would have Anthony’s depth of tone, ring and evenness with superior response and volume in all registers of the instrument. I believe this McGill model captures the essence of his wonderful voice with an ease and fluidity for today’s performers.”
