Metal Mouthpieces

1137 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Dave Dolson
I was wondering, are metal mouthpieces good for altos? I've heard different opinions, and I want to try one. Right now I'm using a Meyer 5M and I want a better sound...So, any advice? They don't necessarily have to be metal, but I'm just curious to your opinions on them.

I'm playing on a YAS-875EX and using Rico Jazz Select, if that helps.

Your 5M is a professional level mouthpiece. It's a very popular mouthpiece for alto in all styles: Phil Woods (jazz) to Mark Russo (Rock). You will not get a better sound out of another mouthpiece...only a different sound...and depending on your level, that may not even be the case.
