SAXOPHOBIA: uno spettacolo musicale innovativo ed unico al mondo che riporta in auge il periodo più straordinario del saxofono e del jazz.
Il pubblico potrà ascoltare ed ammirare alcuni tra gli strumenti musicali più rari, inusuali e bizzarri mai costruiti: dal più piccolo saxofono del mondo, il soprillo di soli 30cm, al gigantesco sax contrabasso di oltre 2 metri, dal tenore diritto al Grafton Plastic di Charlie Parker, dal Conn O Sax ai saxorusofoni, dal Goofus Sax di Adrian Rollini al Mellosax di Snub Mosely, dal tenore Selmer MarkVI-Varitone di Sonny Rollins ai tarogati, dai saxofoni a coulisse al sax tenore appartenuto all'inventore dello strumento Adolphe Sax.
Saxophobia è un viaggio straordinario nelle metamorfosi e nel variegato mondo dei suoni del saxofono. Un concerto-evento nel quale Attilio Berni, oltre a suonare 35 strumenti musicali diversi, rende omaggio ai grandi esecutori del jazz che hanno abbracciato questo strumento. Un percorso originalissimo che sfida il tempo, ridando vita alle passioni ed alle emozioni da sempre soffiate dentro quel tubo misterioso che è il saxofono.

1 Original Adolphe Sax Tenor (in Bb)

What type of tenor mouthpiece does he use on the Chu Berry tenor? I love the sound!

Hello!
Thanks for your opinion.
In my Saxophobia performance for each saxophone I use a particular and specific mouthpiece that enhances the timbre of the instrument and is particularly suitable for the pitch. Infact many of these instruments haven't a pitch with the 440Hz (the bass and soprano tarogatos, the Adolphe Sax Father tenor and others ...). For the tenor sax Conn Chu Berry Artist I utilize a Selmer Soloist short shank hard rubber mouthpiece modified by the great Ralph Morgan.
