what is a good mouthpiece for the selmer sa III alto?

[bluesax]

I want to buy a Selmer sa III alto. I am not quite sure what is a good mouthpiece for this Sax especially for high levels of rock and funk tunes?

dukoff, vandoran jumbo java, beechler or berg larsen.

Runyon Quantum, Runyon XL, Dukoff, Vandoren Jumbo Java...mouthpieces with really high baffles :)

I have a III and it's really bright.I tried Dukoffs,Baris,Links and didn't like 'em.I personally got a smokey fusion sound out of a Meyer Richie Cole 5M and I also liked the SR Legend but it cost a lot more than the Meyer.It's all personal choice and since you will be mic'd you dont have to use metal..........Experiment and try as many as possible

Hi Teddy,
what is a Meyer Richie Cole? Is it a modified Meyer? Who is offering iT?

[singlereed]

Richie Cole is a standard model (e.g. saxophones.co.uk). Maybe also try a Vandoren V16 or a Beechler.

[Razzy]

Standard Meyer 5 should be plenty bright enough for rock music, especially on the new Selmers, which lean toward this type of projection anyhow. The problem is finding a reed to match. Best bet is a RJS 3soft or vandoren java 3.

I use a Vandoren V16 A7 on my Series III. It plays very nice, quite smooth. I'm considering switching to a Jody Jazz, but haven't quite decided yet. However, the V16 is a really good pick for the Series III.
