Robert "Bobby" Dukoff
Bobby Dukoff, a legendary figure in the saxophone world, is remembered not only for his illustrious career as a musician but also for revolutionizing saxophone mouthpieces.
Born in 1918, Bobby played with many renowned Big Bands, collaborating with iconic musicians like Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Dorsey, and Benny Goodman.
A pivotal moment in his career came when a damaged mouthpiece led him to create his own.
This sparked his passion for mouthpiece design, and by the 1940s, Bobby began crafting mouthpieces for fellow musicians. His keen understanding of sound mechanics and constant experimentation allowed him to create mouthpieces that offered saxophonists improved tone, projection, and character.
Bobby’s innovations attracted top artists, and his mouthpieces became the go-to choice for saxophonists like Dexter Gordon, David Sanborn, and Kenny G.
Today, Dukoff mouthpieces are recognized worldwide for their unmatched quality, helping musicians of all levels achieve their best sound.
Although Bobby passed away in 2012, his legacy lives on through Dukoff Mouthpieces, now led by his apprentice and business partner, Nicolas Hernandez, ensuring the continuation of Bobby's dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
