Mark Upton Padovani Signature Series
MARK UPTON LEAD
MU Signature Lead
This mouthpiece was designed to accommodate the majority of my daily work demands. This "lead" mouthpiece is powerful, and very resonant in all registers. The core of sound is unmatched by anything I‘ve ever played my entire career. It’s always been a struggle to find a shallow mouthpiece with a warm sound in the mid to low register however we managed to achive this will the lead model.
The rim has a soft comfortable bite for improved endurance, and the new 'Focus' backbore, designed exclusively for my Signature Series Lead and Studio mouthpieces.
The Padovani rim will feel larger and softer. I lost nothing with the larger rim feel. I gained a better sound, endurance, and range!
Many of my professional colleagues have noticed my enhanced sound, range and endurance.

MARK UPTON CLASSIC
MU Signature Classic
This Padovani Signature Series Classic mouthpiece shares the same rim as the MU Studio Model. The cup is deeper to enhance the lower overtones and to create a clear, full-bodied sound. Players will not lose any range due to of lack of compression, which sometimes happens with a change to a larger mouthpiece.
This is my mouthpiece of choice for smaller Classical work, smaller ensemble playing, lower section parts and fits great in small jazz combinations if you want a dark rich sound.
