August 2026 Summer Update: This model will be back in stock soon! Thank you so much for the amazing support in 2026! You may notice that this model as well as some of my other models are currently "out of stock", but all this means is that I am simply taking a little planned summer break from restocking inventory for about 4 weeks beginning on September 1st, and I'm currently already maxed out on orders until then for Aldanas. It has been an incredible year in the shop, but I need to take a vacation! :) Everything should be back online by October. Thank you so much for your support, and if you'd like to get onto the waitlist for this or any other model, please send me an email through the contact page on this website and I'll be right back in touch with you! Getting onto the waitlist means I'll take your email address and I'll let you know as soon as what you want is available to be ordered again. If you'd like to be notified when my mouthpiece models on this website are all available again, please let me know. Have a great summer, and thank you for visiting! -Matt
 
The Melissa Aldana custom hard rubber tenor sax mouthpiece version II is here!
 
Building upon what we learned from developing the Aldana I along with road-tested feedback from Ms. Aldana herself, The Aldana II features a slightly dialed back baffle configuration which is both one degree lower as well as one tenth of an inch shorter than the Aldana I's baffle. The chamber size was also increased from the tighter squeeze we'd been using for the Aldana I, making it more of a medium chamber design that's still slightly smaller than what you will find on our more vintage-inspired Slant Legacy design. The result is an easier response on the low end, a more appropriate level of focus, and a seamless combination of edge, warmth, and power that Melissa Aldana feels better encompasses the direction her sound has taken in recent years.
 
We are thrilled to be able to make this new personalized version of Melissa Aldana's mouthpiece available to the worldwide saxophone community so that you can play and own the exact same mouthpiece that Ms. Aldana uses when performing live, recording, and teaching worldwide.
