The length of the mouthpiece above the shank is referred to as the facing length. This has a direct impact on the vibration you experience when playing. When upgrading your instrument, you may want to read a best alto sax mouthpieces guide. The right mouthpiece can do wonders for your sound, and you don’t have to get a whole new saxophone. However, if you’re looking for an upgrade, you might need the whole set. Sure, you can buy a ligature and mouthpiece cap separately, but you’ll want to think about how much that will cost. Tip Opening Some mouthpieces come with a ligature and cap, but others don’t. If you already have a ligature you like, you might not want a mouthpiece that comes with one. I love that it came with a ligature and a mouthpiece cap, so I didn’t need to get those separately. You can get a full, expressive sound, so it’s great for playing solo.The Yanagisawa Metal Mouthpiece offers a bright and edgy sound compared to other options. It uses brass with a layer of silver plating, so it looks as good as it sounds. Today, our focus will be on the Yamaha 4C Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece, which is one of the most recognized alto saxophone mouthpieces currently available on the market. Using this mouthpiece, it is easy to attain a clear, balanced, and focused tone in any octave.

You can get a warmer tone without a tone of resistance. However, you’ll need to buy a ligature and mouthpiece cap since this one won’t come with accessories. Pros Furthermore, you can obtain the complete spectrum of sounds from this mouthpiece that you would get from any professional mouthpiece – so you can go all the way up to the altissimo with it. You may play it on both the alto and tenor saxophones. Answer: It doesn’t hurt to try a saxophone mouthpiece before you buy it. That way, you can make sure it works well with your reed and the body or your instrument. It’s an excellent choice for classical players, and it has a bit more edge than the S80 I mentioned earlier. I love that it’s easy to blend with other instruments when you play in a concert band or wind ensemble.

Both mouthpieces are available in ebonite (hardened rubber) but also have a plastic alternative for a more affordable price for budget-conscious shoppers. The Selmer S-80 C* is an amazing choice for a step-up alto sax mouthpiece. Its tip opening is 1.7, and the facing length is 22; I assume that refers to millimeters, but it’s unclear. Yamaha mouthpieces are exceptionally consistent in terms of quality and sound output, ensuring that each one is a “good one” in the long run.

The 4C’s soprano, alto, tenor have 1.20mm, 1.60mm, 1.70mm tip openings, respectively. Their facing lengths are 19mm, 23mm, and 24mm, respectively. This exceptional mouthpiece provides significant benefits to players of all skill levels. This product is ideal for anyone, whether they are first-time users or seasoned professionals. It will also be of the greatest advantage to intermediate players, as it will enable them to provide a fantastic performance with their saxophone while also developing their talents further. This mouthpiece’s facing is 18 millimeters (mm), and the tip opening is 0.070 inches. If those specs don’t suit you, you can choose from two other tip openings and chambers. The Selmer Paris Soloist mouthpiece takes its design inspiration from vintage mouthpieces. However, it has some new technology to help you get a sweet yet full sound. The Yamaha 4C Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece has a 4C size, a common size for most saxophones. It’s what saxophonists refer to as a good all-arounder.For those new to the alto saxophone or who have been playing for a while but haven’t found the perfect mouthpiece yet, the Yamaha 4C Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece will be the best affordable choice. Attaching this fantastic mouthpiece to your saxophone will allow you to experience the greatest tune possible from your instrument while also having the flexibility to effortlessly play it at any octave.

My favorite is probably the J&D Hite mouthpiece, but it’s up to you to try it for yourself to see if it works for you. Metal mouthpieces can offer a brighter tone, so think about what you want. Again, you can get a few mouthpieces to help cover the range of tone colors you want to produce. Accessories I’d recommend the Yamaha 4C or 6C for beginners and the J & D Hite for intermediate players. If you’re a professional, you should try the Vandoren and Otto Link mouthpieces. The difference between a “beginner / intermediate” mouthpiece and a “professional” mouthpiece is the size of the gap between the tip and the reed.If you’re looking for a wider range of tones and pitches, the 5C is definitely the way to go. Though the 4C is a lot easier to control and keep in tune, its small tip opening doesn’t leave much room for variation. If you’ve played the sax for a while, you’ve probably played Vandoren reeds. Well, there’s also the Vandoren SM711 mouthpiece, which you can use with your instrument. The 4C is not the smallest size mouthpiece you can get, but it does the best job in the most scenarios.
