The Syos Originals line embodies the company's acoustic expertise, featuring a streamlined collection of easy-to-play mouthpieces for every type of saxophone. Players can choose from a dark (Smoky), balanced (Steady), or bright (Spark) tone and immediately get the sound they seek.

The Tenor Smoky mouthpiece, with its step baffle and extra-wide chamber, delivers a dark, velvety sound effortlessly, making it perfect for jazz ballads. The Tenor Steady is versatile, easy to play, and produces a homogeneous tone.

Syos mouthpieces are compatible with ligatures from various brands, including Selmer, Vandoren, Yamaha, Jody Jazz, and Silverstein, and are highly reed-friendly.

Syos is proud to have designed mouthpieces for renowned musicians like Joe Lovano, Tivon Pennicott, Scott Paddock, and Daro Behroozi, who have all embraced the brand's products.

To help customers find the perfect mouthpiece, Syos provides a chart that guides them to the equivalent Syos opening based on their current mouthpiece. The company's mouthpieces are designed to be easy to play, allowing users to increase the opening size without difficulty.

Syos was founded by Pauline Eveno and Maxime Caron, two acoustics experts trained at IRCAM in Paris. They set out to offer mouthpieces with customizable sound characteristics and a distinctive look. Syos has now reached a prestigious international audience, with nearly 200 distinguished ambassadors using their products.

Syos has developed an exclusive material called SCAL3D, created in collaboration with leading French research labs. This proprietary material, designed specifically for 3D printing, allows the creation of durable, comfortable mouthpieces optimized down to the micrometer. The introduction of SCAL3D has made Syos mouthpieces 100% made in France, attracting global demand.

Sold in 50 countries, Syos mouthpieces are renowned for their unparalleled projection and sound definition, enhancing both playing and listening pleasure. This revolution is taking place in the heart of Paris, where Syos has recently inaugurated a new production plant.
