Fabia Mantwill on the GIANT Garzone Signature Tenor 10*

"After playing the HR* Tenor 10* for a couple of years I tried out the new GIANT Garzone Signature Tenor 10* model and it was incredible. I never found a more beautiful sounding mouthpiece: It has got such a unique tone, and its rich, powerful and warm sound makes it the greatest mouthpiece I’ve ever played."
