Backun Vocalise TM1 E♭ Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
Centering focus, nuanced control, and pure classical intimacy.
The Backun Vocalise TM1 is the close-facing counterpart in the acclaimed mouthpiece line co-developed by master woodwind craftsman Richard Hawkins, renowned classical saxophonist Dr. Timothy McAllister, and Backun Musical Services. Designed specifically for players who prefer a tighter acoustic focus and effortless resistance, the TM1 offers pinpoint articulation, laser-precise intonation, and an exceptionally pure, singing upper register.
Featuring a close 1.48 mm tip opening and a balanced facing curve, the TM1 provides immediate feedback and exceptional stability across the entire acoustic compass of the instrument. Crafted using Backun’s advanced, proprietary CNC machining techniques from premium hard rubber, it guarantees flawless rail-and-table symmetry that pairs seamlessly with both traditional cane reeds and modern synthetics.
