  1. Alto mpc
    I am trying to find a new mouthpiece, I would like one made for jazz, but I think I need a new one in general. I used my current mouthpiece the Vandoren AL3 during all of marching season this year. Given that its hard rubber, I'm assuming it messed with the mouthpiece from the heat of Georgia...
  2. Alto mpc
    Hi, So this is posted in the mouthpiece section because I want to know what mouthpiece fits this kind of sound. Masato Honda uses a metal Yanagisawa mouthpiece I'm pretty sure, but that is like 250 euros. Been listening to him, finally found him as an example of what I want to sound like. I...
  3. General Mouthpiece Discussion
    TLDR: Is this George M. Bundy alto sax mouthpiece something good to buy for my old Conn New Wonder I from 1917? It's for sale near me. I'll take any information I can get! Hello, I searched around the web, and found that old Conns usually work better with a large (round) chamber mouthpiece. I...
  4. Alto mpc
    Hey all, A while ago I was looking to buy a metal moutpiece, and landed on a Theo Wanne Earth in a 7. I was very excited when it came in, but when I slapped it on and blew threw it, it was acting up a little. It wouldn't make a noise aside from some ugly squeaks. Mind you, at that point I had...
  5. Alto mpc
    There are a few people out there making high quality Link-inspired mouthpieces for tenor, but I was curious about what the demand for alto Links were. I know that Meyers are much more popular for alto, but I've seen and heard some players getting some fantastic sounds out of some of the older...
  6. Alto mpc
    Hi All, So I've played in a few big bands in the past and have either used a Meyer (6M I think?) and a Beechler Diamond s6s. For the past year, however, I've developed and stuck to a brighter and more edgy tone as I have been seriously involved with a fusion/funk band. I am currently very...
  7. Alto mpc
    Seeking advice from those in the know! If you've played a Daddy-O and an Alto Madness, please read on, & I'd dig hearing from you. Thanks in advance! Am loving my Gen II Daddy-O 6 to death, with 2.5 tenor reeds on a Keilwerth SX90 alto sax. My other main alto piece is an ancient beat-up Berg...
  8. Alto mpc
    Hi all I chipped my Yamaha 4c mouthpiece that I got with my recently new Yamaha Yas-480 alto. I know it is just the cheap mouthpiece they put with the sax but I want to know how much a chip like it has will affect my playing. It doesnt seem to affect the playing but let let me know what you...
  9. Tone Producing & Embouchure
    I'd like to develop a rock/funk tone. I currently use a Meyer 5M, but I also have a Morgan Excalibur 6M and a Runyon Jazz with Spoiler. But no matter which mpc I use, I still sound sweet and clear instead of funky. What do I do with my throat, soft-palate, tongue, and air to get a funkier tone...
