Refacing
& Repair
Your favorite mouthpiece deserves the utmost care.
The quality of the refacing work done by Les Becs d’Autan has built the reputation of the company and Philippe.
Rediscover your mouthpiece, optimized and/or hand-repaired by a craftsman. It’s your chance to restore a worn mouthpiece, change the tip opening, and eliminate all playing and aesthetic flaws… Refacing is about enhancing your mouthpiece’s performance and unlocking its full potential.
Effortless playability, expressiveness, and a rich sound are within your reach.
100% Custom Creations
We offer the creation of 100% custom mouthpieces for musicians who are looking for a truly unique piece. To study your original creation project, the process begins with a detailed discussion about:
• the sound you are looking for
• your instrument and equipment
• the reference models you like
• the desired characteristics (tip opening, response, projection, etc.)
Based on these elements, I design and manufacture a mouthpiece specifically tailored to your request.
Limited Edition Mouthpieces
In addition to the main range, some rarer models with a more distinctive character are developed, such as the Hollywood (Dexter Gordon’s mouthpiece) or the Pilgrimage (Michael Brecker’s last mouthpiece).
These mouthpieces are produced in small batches or made to order only.

Je recommande vivement Les Becs D’autan, je suis un saxophoniste professionnel, j’ai 56 ans, j’ai habité à New York et bref j’en ai essayé une grande quantité. Finalement je joue un bec de Phillippe que je trouve excellent.Publié sur marc BonifayTrustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. Bec excellent : Florida 8 / Facile d'émission, même avec une anche de 3 - sonorité riche et velouté en subtone - monte bien dans les sur aigues. Merci pour ce travailPublié sur Colin EvansTrustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. I am very impressed with the MB1 I received from Philippe, it plays better than any Guardala style mouthpiece I have ever tried. He is really a master craftsman, the standard and accuracy of his work is amazing. I am able to get a wide-range of tonal colours from this mouthpiece, from a bright funky timbre to a soft, velvety subtone. It is very even tonally over the whole instrument, with a much more improved top end and wide dynamic range. If you are looking for a Guardala, don't go to the companies trading currently under his name, or buy a very expensive original on eBay - Go to Philippe.Publié sur Paolo SwuecTrustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. It has been now two months of playing on your Florida. This quick feedback just to say how great this mouthpiece is. It is my main one, and not for a single day I went back to my old picks. So, bravo. Excellent job! I have no clue how people can waste money on modern Otto link when they can buy yours (that are perfect out of the box).Publié sur Bill VillarrealTrustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. I received my Florida Meta tenor mouthpiece a couple of months ago and have been using it since then. I always find it takes me about a month to adjust to a new mouthpiece. I have to say this MPC is super fantastic. Free blowing with just enough resistance allowing me to get the sound I was looking for - warm but with some projection. A great purchase and worth the wait.Publié sur James WylieTrustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. Excellent mouthpieces, first rate craftsmanship and impressive communication and customer service. I purchased a florida model which was truly excellent but slightly different from what I was looking for. Although I wasn’t sure that I wanted risking changing it and losing what I loved about it, I decided to speak with Philippe about it. He replied within the hour with several proposals for baffle modifications that could achieve what I was looking for. I sent it to him and he achieved exactly what I was hoping for and now the mouthpiece is comfortable and even closer to what I was searching for. I would recommend Les Becs D’Autan to anyone who is looking for a serious mouthoiece. I only hope they start producing mouthpiece of this quality for alto and soprano…!Publié sur Steph saxTrustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. J'ai reçu mon Florida 8* Les Becs d'Autan samedi dernier et c'est un véritable bonheur a jouer chaque jour. Tout y est pour moi, rondeur, flexibilité, suraigus faciles, projection et dynamique superbe, bref un bec d'une qualité exceptionnel réalisé avec passion. C'est "lumineux " comme le décrit très bien le commentaire de Bernard Richebé ici, j'aurais pu copier son commentaire en changeant simplement saxophone Mark VI de 64 par Mark VI de 66. Pour moi ça chante et c'est "fleuri " si je peux dire ça comme ça pour décrire la richesse du son ! Merci Philippe pour ton travail remarquable.Publié sur federico venutaTrustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. I received my hollywood tenor mouthpiece perfectly on time.
