Yamaha 4C Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece, Standard Series

Best Alto Sax mouthpiece yet. I’ve gone through a few alto mouthpieces but the 4C is for sure my favorite. The sound on the 4C is very clear and great for playing classical and jazz!

Quality mouthpiece. My son dropped his old one and it chipped. The Yamaha is considerably more expensive than the no-name brand options, but like most things, it is well worth the price difference, especially if you are a serious musician. You can feel the quality in the weight and sound of the piece. You get what you pay for!

I bought a Alto Saxopone for a price that I never thought possible. The quality of the instrument is higher then the price, which is a pleasant surprise - (Available on Amazon: Eastar AS-II. It has good reviews, along with a couple other imported saxophones). It came with a similar mouth piece, (I never realized that there could be so many differences in mouth pieces), however the same pros who recommend the Sax, also recommended switching to this Yamaha mouthpiece. They indicated it's a quality mouthpiece that is both good to learn on and could really be the mouthpiece you keep for life, even though it's very affordable! I'm just starting to learn, but this is one more thing I don't have to think twice about and I like good advice from Pros!

Works well

First let me say that this definitely demonstrates the quality of the yamaha brand. Now with that said: Pros: Great sound, better than a no-frills off brand mouthpiece of the same size. Nice size, easy to form an embouchure with. Feels very comfortable to play on- don't need too much air. Nice crisp mellow sound. Cons: -You get more sound out of a 5C -Because it's a smaller hole, it's difficult to get more sound. You know how it's easier to drink through a bigger straw? Well that's what this feels like- it's easier to blow through a bigger mouthpiece. -Once you play a more advanced mouthpiece, you won't want to go back. So unless you need a starter mouthpiece, I think you should go for the 5C or something more advanced.

Awesome mouthpiece. Definitely a difference and easier to use than the mouthpiece that came with the Glory sax for a beginner I just purchased. Very highly recommend.

It's a great mouthpiece for beginners. I bought this for my son when he first started using a saxophone about two years ago, and he is still using it to this day. If taken care of, this mouthpiece can last a very long time. It is durable, and my son has progressed in his saxophone skills and ability with this mouthpiece.

Works as intended
