I am relatively new to the saxophone scene and have been stepping through different opening sizes and reed combinations. I wanted to learn what’s working for me without breaking the bank. The Yamaha series is one that is recommended by many music teachers because they are made very well and are a known commodity. Yamaha includes the smaller 4C opening with their instruments. As I have progressed with my instrument, I have used the Yamahas and will probably graduate to a more advanced/premium mouthpiece. In the meantime, these have served me well with tenor and alto. (As with most mouthpieces, a ligature and cap are not included.)

Bought as upgrade from original generic mouthpiece. Looked at Yamaha because of their quality and reputation. Reviews I read were that Yamaha 4C was an excellent all-around choice for beginning/intermediate players. Several 6C reviewers mentioned starting with a 4C and going to 6C with excellent results. My experience has been the same: easy blowing and control, excellent range from soft to ff, and very close to the tenor sound I want to achieve. A good choice for the next step up.

This mouthpiece has improved the sound a great deal. It produces a warm rounder sound. I would recommend this mouth piece to any one wanting to improve their sound.

Sounds great right away

very good mouthpiece give a softer tone than a metal one. I do advise mouthpiece cushions.. I use them with all mouthpieces that I have. Vandoren mouthpiece cushions are the best.. they keep their stick Cheaper mouthpiece cushions slide off when wet.
