im looking for a metal mouthpiece to match my cannonball raven tenor sax, and i would like it to be black...good. Now i probaly won't go looking for another month or so...but i just wanted to know if they make metal mouthpieces in black...and which brand is the best...i think this is clear...i don't know im kinda sick today so...

Zagar?...vibraloy is not exactly black, but its a dark grey sort of colour.

This is possibly the stupidest way to select a mouthpiece yet devised though.

Find the one that works for you, and then paint it if you have too! Or just stick to hard rubber...its already black. Jumbo Java? Sounds like metal

 

[Seasax]

find one you really like thats not black and paint it?
you'll have more choice then

You could try to get a mouthpiece black nickel plated. That would be pretty slick looking.

 

[Seasax]

yes, but the tone, think about the tone!

Maybe you should go back to bed, and don't get up until you realise that looks does not matter?

I play a metal Rovner mpc that is black. I don't think they are produced anymore. On their homepage they only show brass coloured mpc:s.

Doesn't Brancher make a nickel plated mouthpiece?

 

[Seasax]

the top one, crap photo but i have seen one/played one and they do appear gun metal/black

Is there anyone who makes an aluminum mouthpiece? You could get one of those and have it anodized. Of course, it would eventually poison and kill you, but that's the price you pay for picking a mouthpiece in such a specious manner...

Lakey, anoidized aluminum.

You really shouldnt worry about what color your mouthpiece is...

I hate to see someone buying a mouthpiece for its looks. It's tiny...and usually in your mouth, so buy one that sounds good.

Me, too. Besides, your options for a black metal mouthpiece are few and far between. If you're hung up on black, get a good hard rubber piece; there are dozens of models to choose from.....daryl

Yes. That's their high baffle/paint peeler model.

 

[mudrock1000]

well not that it not being black will affect my decision...i was just wondering if there is a good brand of metal mouthpieces that comes in black.(i have a hard rubber meyer)

 

[Swampcabbage]

Here I was, going in a different direction...

Forget about the tone ... who cares -- it's all about looking stylish! I am still waiting for a solid gold mouthpiece with diamond inlays! If Paris Hilton would play saxophone mouthpieces wouldn't look so dull and "functional"! :x

That's a great way to select a mouthpiece...
At least in the sense that it restricts drastically your viable options to just 2: Zagar Cool/Hot School and Brancher B series. They are also quite different, the Brancher being much brighter.
I have a Cannonball Raven and aesthetically speaking the Zagar is a perfect match. Sonically I don't think so, I like that piece in other tenors but not so much on the Cannonball (the bronze SBB is, but isn't black). Since looks is your driving factor I think a Zagar Cool or Hot School is a safe bet. And also a very afforable one.

p.s. Lookwise the Saxscape slim profile is black and as close as it comes to a metal piece. Another option...

Lakey makes a black metal .

Do you dress to match your horn as well?
