Expensive? Well that depends, £70 to £80 would be my guess.

Suitable? suck it and see - really from the chart it seems non-extreme and probably a reasonable starting point.

The A25 has a tip opening of .073" and while a little larger than the famous C* from Selmer, is a very good tip opening, facing length, and especially, chamber design. I think it is a better mouthpiece, and certainly easier to obtain a nice classical sax tone. Also, the Vandoren T35 for tenor (tip opening .090") is excellent, for the same reasons. The T25 and T35 are, in my opinion, two of the better classical mouthpieces for tenor on the market today.
