These mouthpiece variations include the use of the saxophone neck as rim flute, a didjeriduDidjeridu adapter, a bawuBawu free reed, a dudukDuduk reed, a bassoonBassoon reed, and a brassBrass instrumentcornettCornett mouthpiece. The primary goal of utilizing these tone generators is to make the soprano saxophone a more versatile instrument were it sound and playability as was discussed at the end of the last chapter. At the same time, we inherit a number of different musical traditions from the original instruments, which we can adapt to the saxophone. These cultural ancestors can provide insight into various musical traditions that one can draw from. By using these mouthpieces of indigenous and modern instruments, one can connect better to these traditions than by just imitating these sounds on the regular saxophone.
