Mouthpiece Significance
Masahiko Goto believes that a good quality of sound on saxophone is determined by the mouthpiece. As an analogy, if instruments were the body of a car, mouthpieces would be the engine which determines the quality and performance. That is why we at Gottsu select materials by ourselves, and take “in-house factory” and “hand-finishing” seriously.
Aural Ideal
Masahiko Goto believes that the saxophone sounds like vocalization and that the mouthpiece should also imitate the human voice. Therefore, all Gottsu models are the outcome of his pursuit of human vocal harmonic overtones.
Learn from the Past
Masahiko Goto has studied various mouthpieces while refacing them, and is especially impressed by vintage mouthpieces which were made during the golden era of Jazz (1930s-50s). He is able to see the maker’s precise craftsmanship in each of the vintage mouthpieces. The Gottsu vintage model exists to create a fusion between vintage mouthpieces and modern music.
Gottsu Technology
G-Tune
G-Tune is a special facing technology developed by Masahiko Goto. It is performed on all Gottsu mouthpieces during the final handcrafting process. Thanks to G-Tune Technology, all Gottsu mouthpieces make beautiful tones and have great ease of blowing.
Testing
The thickness of the tip rail and side rail is an important aspect of the mouthpiece because it has the greatest influence on sound quality. Masahiko Goto exhaustively determines the best thickness of tip and side rail for each Gottsu model. We normally make over 100 test mouthpieces to find the best tip and side rail for each model.
