Lawton's of Description of the ICON

Lawton’s own description on the Bill Lewington website in approx. 2002:

New ICON model tenor mouthpiece.

  • Made in pure bell bronze

  • A very powerful handmade mouthpiece

  • Take a large volume of air and still be controlled

  • Great cutting edge when pushed

  • Very flexible when softer warmer tones are required at lower volumes

  • Available to special order only with a BBB chamber

Notes

  1. Introduced in about 2002.

  2. ICON tenor (£265) was more expensive than standard Lawton models (£189) at that time.

  3. Examples of ICON model have various configurations of baffle, slope and chamber. Generally the initial baffle is high and flat, sloping or transitioning down and opening out into a medium-large chamber, sometimes with a step.

  4. ICON was also made for alto but seems to be very rare.
