Okubo Gakki has begun carrying handmade mouthpieces crafted by Canadian mouthpiece artisan Sebastian Knox. (Okubo Gakki is the exclusive distributor in Japan.)
Sebastian Knox worked under Ted Crum before striking out on his own.From his workshop in Toronto, Canada, he crafts and customizes mouthpieces for professional musicians and creates handmade mouthpieces.
Thanks to his exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous, sensitive approach to meeting players’ needs, he has earned the deep trust of professional musicians not only in Canada but around the world.
The first shipment includes the following three types, for a total of four items:
American Series “Traditional” 103-1
American Series “Traditional” 103-2
American Series “Traditional” 105
American Series “New” Standard 108
On each product page, we’ve prepared demo performance files featuring the actual instruments from this shipment.
The performers who kindly collaborated with us are Masafumi Usui, a saxophonist based in Toronto, and Akira Naruse, a guitarist based in Nagoya.
We hope you’ll find these helpful as you consider a purchase.
Since the mouthpieces crafted by Sebastian Knox are entirely handmade, quantities are limited, but they are rapidly gaining a following among professional musicians. Experience a sound that can compete on equal footing with the very best vintage hard-rubber mouthpieces, such as the Ottlink Slant and the Reso Chamber.
*When trying out a mouthpiece, please bring your usual instrument, reed, and a ligature designed for hard-rubber mouthpieces.
