Saxophone Mouthpieces

Saxophone mouthpieces play a crucial role in the tone quality, pitch accuracy and response of a sax. A quality sax mouthpiece can breathe new life into a beginner or student sax and is a great way to upgrade an instrument.

It is important to bear in mind material when choosing a sax mouthpiece. Metal saxophone mouthpieces are often a favourite of jazz musicians and band saxophonists. Metal mouthpieces tend to have an extra 'edge' to their sound which, along with increased projection, allows them to be heard more easily over guitars and drum kits. Ebonite saxophone mouthpieces have a more mellow tone particularly suitable for classical playing, as well as for sax groups and swing bands.

The saxophone mouthpiece selection at Gear4music includes ABS, plastic, ebonite and metal mouthpieces for sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. Gear4music metal saxophone mouthpieces are an ideal way for beginner and intermediate players to experiment with a different style of mouthpiece, while Yanagisawa mouthpieces are particularly well known for their consistently high quality tone and projection, right across the range.
