Yamaha Tenor Sax Mouthpiece 4C

I have tried out various mouthpieces and paid a pretty penny for fancy 'professional' mouthpieces and I have to tell you this is a fantastic mouthpiece. I have a Selmer Alto Sax and did not want to spend a lot of money on a Tenor Sax to play in a local Community Band so I bought a horn from one of those online auction sellers - very nice horn for the money but the mouthpiece was total junk. I paired this mouthpiece with a Rovner Tenor Sax Ligature and I could not believe the sound I was getting. I loved this so much I actually bought one for my Selmer and use it as my primary mouthpiece when I play with the 15 Piece Big Band I am in. I was using another brand name 'jazz' mouthpiece but I always found that sound to be too bright. This mouthpiece allows me to play out and cut through in solos but also delivers a mellow tone when the piece calls for it. Best $20 I spent on this horn and my Alto. Highly recommend - you will not be sorry you spent the money

Bought it as a gift for a musician. He said it does what it should. Fit perfectly durable. Good value for the money.

I ordered this mouthpiece along with my tenor sax to have a few options to work with while learning. The mouthpiece is one of the most important parts of sound production in the saxophone so having a good comfortable one to work with is important. A poor mouthpiece can lead to bad playing habits, frustration by its effects on the sound, or just rain on the whole playing experience. Out of the three mouthpieces I have this one outdoes them all. It produces sound well, it does not irritate the mouth while playing, and any sound issues I have had have been my fault not the mouthpiece.If you read on forums or reviews you will find this mouthpiece has a great reputation and is often used for years until a one of the much more expensive style dedicated mouthpieces become worth the investment. Your money will be well spent on the Yamaha 4C and I recommend it to any beginner or just someone looking for a great inexpensive mouthpiece. Enjoy and play well.

I am new to sax. I got a cheap Glory saxophone and based on reviews decided that I should get this mouthpiece. Several of the reviewers suggested the stock mouthpiece was garbage and this would be a good starter mouthpiece.The sax arrived a day before the mouthpiece so I used the stock mouthpiece with the orange rico 2.5 reeds I had ordered with the sax the first two times I practiced. I didn't find the stock mouthpiece to be terrible. Granted this is based on no prior experience but by the end of the first half hour practice I was doing a C Major scale and a couple simple songs. However I was hoping this mouthpiece would be noticeably better than the stock mouth piece, even to my novice abilities. In fact, I thought maybe it would make an improvement in my playing overnight (well technically later that day).On the good news front, I didn't think to get a ligature when I got the new mouthpiece but the one I had fit.In fact side by side both the stock mouthpiece and this one are nearly identical.The shape and material are very similar. If I play them back to back with the same reed I get a similar sound and feel while playing.That said, I've picked up playing pretty well with this mouthpiece so I don't have any complaints. I think it is a perfectly reasonable starter and a good price.The sound is ... smooth is the best description I can think of. I can get some "pop" out of it but mostly its a fairly well rounded sound.I play harmonica and would describe it as similar to the sound of a hohner special 20. Nice, even, and adaptable but nothing to make it stand out.I'll be looking to replace it before long but do expect to keep it around for when I need something more middle of the road.

Amazing, really great and I don’t have a problem with it.

Yamaha brand - can't go wrong!My son's go to mouthpiece for all his saxophones. Alto, Tenor, Baritone

This mouthpiece is the absolute only choice for an economy mouthpiece. Yamaha really manages to get the best sound possible out of these plastic mouthpieces. For the price, these are by a long shot the best value out there. The 4c model is great for anyone beginner or pro. These really are the highest quality mouthpieces that you can get for under $150. It's remarkable how amazing these seemingly cheap things are. Compared to a stock mouthpiece, they are absolutely amazing. Best value in mouthpieces by far. Almost comparable to the far superior Selmer S series. Must buy! 10/10

I recently picked up the Legacy 770 Intermediate Sax. While the setup was good, and the brass and workings nice, the mouthpiece seemed to be lacking and I felt the reeds didn't set flat.I decided to give the 4C a try based on other recomendations.WOW! This Makes a huge difference and makes this hack seem like a pro.Pick one up with the matching ligature and match up with some 2.5 reed and you're good to go!

Toco el Saxo a cada día y la verdad que la boquilla es de muy buena calidad, suena muy bien y es cómoda.Compra recomendada para quien toca el saxo.

Schnelle Lieferung.

Exactly what the add describes.

Excellent mouthpiece for beginners and intermediate players. Yamaha quality.Highly recommend.

私にとっては発音、レスポンス、コントロール性が良くいわゆる有名メーカー品以上に使えるモデルです。ヤマハの技術力は「付属のマースピース」を超え素晴らしいにつきます。個体差のあるオットーリンクラバーで苦労して吹奏感〜吹きやすさの良いものを探すより無理して開きを広げずこのオープニング1.70mmで個人的に正解でした。自分にあったオープニングがあるそうで、その相性の良いオープニングで長い期間修練した後にどうしても最初のマウスピースに飽きたらなくなたらその時に初めて他のモデルへ移行すべきとの示唆が良く理解できます。標準的イコールある意味オールジャンルで使い熟しできそうです。個人的に音の強弱、ニュアンスつけ、最強音〜最弱音に至るまでコントロールが大変しやすくいわゆる「音抜け」抜群です。息が持ってかれることなく無駄なく音に変換されており吹き心地が良く吹いてることが楽しく練習時間が楽しい時間になっております。私個人としてはヤマハ製サックスのエントリー〜中級以上上級以下のモデルの標準マウスピースであることで本体との相性がとても良いのではないでしょうか?　やはりヤマハ製サックスとのバランスがとても良い感想です。本体はYTS34Ⅱを使用しております。材質がプラスチック製で明るくレスポンスがとても良く同ヤマハカスタムより好みです。このモデルは意外に、マウスピースメーカーブランドより「実」を〜名よりも実の典型モデルではないでしょうか？　良く「単に音がでるその音がそっけない」との評価は個人的は違うと思います。とにかくとても良いマウスピースです。長く愛用しこのモデルで音を育てて行きたいモデルです。
