I have thought about purchasing a Metal Yanagisawa #5 (1.35 mm) for soprano sax.
And' mouthpiece of good quality?
Merits and defects?
Does someone have experience with this mouthpiece?

MI likes a lot saxophonist Masato Honda's sound to the soprano sax (and alto sax!)... I believe uses a Metal Yanagisawa...

The best regards
Thanks

Metal Yani's are very good. Expect a pure bright even tone color.

The metal 7 I own hands down beat (modern) metal links, Ponzol custom and traditional(pieces I really dig on alto), Meyer, a few Super Sessions, and pretty much everything else I tried at WWBW. Of course, that was just for my own purposes, but they really are quality pieces. Yani pieces are some of the most consistent in current production now. I like regular old blue box 3s on the piece.
