Hello,

Which one are the best ones? (AT chamber,studio, jazz,...) The wooden ones?

Thanks,

I have an alto metal Jazz 8, I love this mpc. It has a warm slightly dark bottom range (up to E) and it goes up to brighter and open sound in the highs. response is great although Due to wear I can see the rails arent even. the tip rail is ok though and quite thin.

equipped with a Legere 2¾ I get a brighter sound and lush bottom, If you push it you can get really loud but it still sounds good.

hope i helped.

I had a Studio for a while and it was brighter than any other alto piece I had ever played. Even brighter than a Jumbo Java.

Thanks for the answers!

I'm interested in the wooden pieces from Lebayle...any experiences?

I recently read about the Ishimori Alto Sax mouthpieces...they seem to be amazing!?

If you reed this article from steve neff you'll have more of an idea, this article was written about the (Tenor) Lebayle LRII but there`s also a mentioning of the wooden mouthpieces.

Hi there~ I've been with my lebayle studio metal 7 for almost a year now and still liking it~ It's a very bright mouthpiece obviously, but can be very flexible with different reeds too. But I personally don't like to "dull" down a built-to-be-bright mouthpiece by using hard/ dark sounding reeds as the sound produced is kinda "sticky", not mellow.

Overall I liked the studio metal quite alot, the crispy bright sound may or may not be appealing to one as one man's meat is another man's poison
It's even brighter and added crisp than the Dukoff.

I use a Lebayle Metal Studio 7*. It is a bright MPC comparable with my Lawton 7* BB but with a more complex tone (hard to describe). Candy Dulfer seems to use the Metal Studio (8) too. I also used a Wood Studio 7* but it was damaged (rail) the first week I got it. I liked this one also, for me somewhat easier to blow. The Lebayle Wooden MPCs are for sale in Holland:
