Excellent intermediate alto sax mouthpiece
I purchased this mouthpiece as a necessary tool for the instrument repair course I am currently enrolled in. This mouthpiece is made of a very durable and easily plastic that provides great tonal capabilities with minimal effort. I am an intermediate alto player myself and I would highly reccommend this to any beginner/intermediate player who is looking for a great mouthpiece with minimal cost expenditures.

One of Yamaha's more common and competitive mouthpieces, the 4C will provide a student with a better airflow and a more stable range. Top to learn more

Great value
Surprising quality for a small price , this mouthpiece renders precise tonal control throughout the entire octave range , with superlative upper register performance . would have been nicer though if a ligature had been included if even for nominal additional cost .

Great mouthpiece for beginners
I bought a used Yamaha YAS 23 it didn't come with mouthpiece. Who wants a used mouth piece ?The Sax is going to be share between the son and me. We bought 2 mouth piece, one Yamaha (this one), the other Rico. My son get the Yamaha and I get the Rico.I had no experience playing sax at all and spent days without making any real notes. Took that to my 1st lesson, the teacher said, "do you have another mouth piece ?". "Yes but it's my son's". Well poor son was not there, so I replaced the Rico with this Yamaha (both brand new, practically) and wa la ! I was playing notes in 2 complete octaves ! Night and Day !The reason why it did not get 5 stars from me is because they did not include the ligature. Seem like a no brainer to me to include the mouthpiece which they can get for $2, and sell the package for $5 more.

Sweet mouthpiece
I bought the Rico Royal mouthpiece in B 5 facing. There are three facing/lengths- A,B,C and 3,5,7.A gives you more of a "dark" sound - quieter - for orchestra work. B is most common. Louder, good for most concert/jazz bands. C is jazzy so it can be used in a small jazz band. The length controls how much the reed vibrates and the volume, so a 3 is softer, 5 in the middle and a 7 very loud. A B 5 is typical. A 7 might be if you want to be very loud - marching band, etc.This mouthpiece is inexpensive - $15-$20 is typical - but plays like a better mouthpiece. Good for Beginners and advanced or if you have a mouthpiece you love and just want a decent space in your case!

Beginning band student's favorite mouthpiece
My daughter needed an alto saxophone mouthpiece to upgrade the one that shipped with her new horn. While looking on Amazon at Yamaha mouthpieces I stumbled upon this Rico by accident. I've purchased and used Rico products (reeds) in the past and been pleased, and due to the price difference between Yamaha and Rico (about 20-30%), I thought I'd give Rico a try once again. I was not disappointed.Based upon the previous reviewer mentioning sizes, tones, what each mouthpiece is best used for in terms of performance, I purchased the B5 for my daughter. She is at the end of her first year of middle school band, and will be in both the concert and marching band this coming fall. The B5 produces a warm tone from her Yamaha YAS-23, with plenty of projection. I purchased this ligitature: and use...

Nice way to test the water when changing mouthpieces
As you improve in your ability, eventually you will want to try a new mouthpiece. That's where I am and I've read a lot about various sizes and materials. But one thing that made the most sense was that for a low cost mouthpiece these were a great way to go. I wanted to try a larger tip opening. So I got a Rico Graftonite and I am very impressed with the quality level. It is nicely made and certainly the best way to make the move. I am still working out the control I need to make the reed work properly for me. But I am hitting altismo notes more easily and, in my case anyway, I didn't need to change reed stiffness. I do get some squeaks but that's me not controlling the reed, and not the mouthpiece. I would recommend these to anyone looking to make a change or looking for a replacement.

Customer Review

Works Wonderfully
I borrowed my friend's saxophone so I could figure out if I liked the instrument. I needed to buy reeds and a mouthpiece so I wouldn't have to use hers. The store from which I bought my Rico reeds sold mouthpieces for $120--much more than I could afford. There was actually a pawn shop that had marked down a saxophone to $100, so I could have bought that entire saxophone--which came with reeds--as opposed to the mouthpieces that store was selling.So I turned to the internet and found this one. I bought it a few weeks ago, and it works just as well as my friend's mouthpiece (if not better). I've used my friend's mouthpiece against mine, and I would say there isn't much of a difference if any as far as playing is concerned. My mouthpiece is slightly narrower and longer. Of course the ligature needed to be broken in, but it has worked wonderfully from the very beginning.Overall it's an awesome mouthpiece, especially considering the price.

Customer Review

Selmer = industry standard
As a professional woodwind instructor and player, I usually recommend the Selmer C* mouthpiece to all of my students as their first "step up" from the beginner's mouthpiece that came with their horn. When they buy or rent a saxophone, especially these cheap new Chinese/Taiwanese horns like "First Act" or other brands, the mouthpiece that comes with the horn is usually substandard, usually plastic, and is barely sufficient for the beginner to get a sound out of the horn. Even so, a good mouthpiece can assuage some of the difficulties caused by an el-cheapo instrument.Obviously, every student should always have the best possible equipment at his/her disposal, but even if the cost prohibits a student from buying a top-of-the-line pro horn, they should still invest the money in a top quality mouthpiece. The mouthpiece and embochure form the foundation to tone production, and a good mouthpiece will make it possible to learn to produce a decent tone on even the worst-quality...

Finally, my first review... Shipping was lightning fast and this mouth piece really sings. I was told my several alto players that this was a great piece. Sure enough, it definitely beats my generic mouth piece that came with the alto. It plays well with 2 1/2!

E-Z to play, luv the tone
Super beginner mouthpiece, but good enough for advanced players. Great general purpose tone, maybe not good for heavy jazz/blues. Works well with Rovner 1RL ligature, helps beginners not squeak.

Goldentones....
If your a beginner or just want to play around with a Alto sax, then this is a good mouthpiece that does not require a lot of money. it is made of plastic and that is the sound you will get.But if you want to learn how to squeak and squeal, then turn the ligature backwards (narrow end first)on this mouthpiece and go for it. it can help you achieve the altissimo range with time and practice before you invest in a higher priced excellent quality mouthpiece..the more i have been using it,the more i like the sound it gives me with a #3 Rico plastic cover reed but you really have to warm up the sax and the reed to get that smooth sound with the lower notes

Customize your sound with ease
If you play you know that metal ligatures are the norm. They hold the reed in place on the saxophone's mouthpiece, and you loosen or tighten it to get the right sound.This Rovner ligature is made of a rubber (sort of like the inside of a bike tire in consistency - thin but tough) and holds the reed in place while providing a warmer tone, a bit more flexibility for the reed and the ability to tilt the reed with ease to produce the sound you're looking for without too much effort. The change is sound is subtle, but noticeable, in a nice way!It does take some getting used to, but once you do I think you'll find it superior to metal ligatures. Directions for getting it to work best for you are in the box. Follow them and within a very short period of time you'll be making sweet music!NOTE: this item also comes with a plastic cap for an alto saxophone mouthpiece. The cap is rather cheaply made, but it does the job.

This ligature greatly improved my sound
I bought my Rovner Alto Sax ligature several years ago, now. I really like it. I am actually a flutist who took up sax to get into the jazz band in college, so I was looking for every advantage I could get. This ligature definitely helped me tremendously. I know it is far superior to the standard metal ligature that came with my sax. The reed vibrates more easily. I get more and better sound.I still occasionally play my sax, which is just a student instrument, when there is a need in a small ensemble. Since I don't play regularly, I still need every advantage I can possibly get. I doubt I will ever part with my Rovner ligature. It has seen me through many challenges.

Like all Aizen mouthpieces, the Gold JazzMaster mouthpiece looks great. This wouldn’t be the mouthpiece I would grab to run out the door to a loud R&B gig but for a night of jazz this would be a great mouthpiece to try. This is a new Aizen Gold JazzMaster tenor saxophone mouthpiece that I received in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Aizen Gold JazzMaster Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece. Aizen Gold JazzMaster Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece. If you follow my blog regularly, then you will already know that I have reviewed a number of Aizen hard rubber mouthpieces for the tenor and alto saxophone already. This mouthpiece plays about as dark as I’ve ventured in my saxophone playing lifetime. The AIZEN’s technology gives you the powerful, fat, dark, and rich saxophone sound through this mouthpiece. “This mouthpiece is designed for realizing the superior breath comfortableness and the legendary smoky saxophone sound. Even though the volume might be less than a “paint peeler” type mouthpiece, I think the thick full body of the sound makes up for that fact. When I played this mouthpiece I felt like it had an equal effect of “darkening” those notes.

Something about the tone is very smooth and round sounding to me. The tone is focused and reminds me of a great playing vintage Meyer type sound. Thanks so much to Eric and MacSax for sending me this MacSax D model alto mouthpiece to review. MacSax D Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece. MacSax D Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece. Overall, I believe this is a great mouthpiece if you looking for a beautiful sound with some nice highs and “zing” in the tone.
