Rico RRGMPCTSXA5 A5 Graftonite Mouthpiece for Tenor Sax, 1.43 in*3.94 in*0.93 in

A very good alternative for those that either cannot afford the Yamaha version or cannot get one (for some reason Amazon nor the marketplace are selling the Yamaha tenor sax mouthpiece). It's miles better that the one that came with the outfit, though if you are a beginner like me you would be advised to go on the Internet and find out the difference between A, B & C and also 1 to 7, as they are all different sizes, some are easy for beginners and some hard to play, and all produce different sounds. I picked a B3 because it is an average between them all.I would also recommend a  synthetic reed ; a tad expensive but it lasts for ages, can be left on the mouthpiece and never needs wetting.

I can't understand why this mouthpiece was so cheap. It's well made and performs like a much more expensive mouthpiece. I have a 3 reed on for use with my 1970s tenor sax and the tone is great. Easy to blow too unlike other cheap mouthpieces. Get one!

The Rico mouthpieces offer an affordable way to understand how different tip clearances and chamber sizes affect what comes out of the horn whan you blow.Great value for money and well made item!

I already have an A5 and its worth at least three times the price.i use it for practice and studio work (lovely dark rich tone.similair to a Link Tonedge but nicer imo). I wanted the A7 for a tad more resistance and volume for live gigs. Works a treat. Great mouthpiece if youre after the 'cool jazz' sound. If youre after a more hard edged ,cutting sound its not for you. Try the Graftonite instead.

B5 medium chamber, medium tip size,with a 2 reed, allows for playing upper to lower register notes with ease and able to produce vibrato and bend notes. Altissimo notes are more difficult and will need a harder reed.

A really great mouthpiece at an affordable price. Plays easily in all octaves from low Bb to high F#. I use with a java green 2.5 reed.I have much more expensive mouthpieces and this one is just as good.I would recommend for all beginners to advanced players.

Did not wirk for me, not sure if the tip is lsrge for beginners or its just difficult to play.

Quite impressed with the sound. The rail that the reed sits on takes a bit of getting used to
