Yamaha Tenor Sax Mouthpiece 4C

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 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

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

Overall a great mouthpiece for beginners, be careful when washing it though, because it may chip if not taken well care of. It looks great, sounds great, plays well, and is a great bang for your buck. Lime seriously, it's pretty cheap. Like I said before though, it could chip, and that definitely makes this 4 stars, as I had to return one from washing with a mild warm water and soap.

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!

The Yamaha 4C is a great mouthpiece that produces a nice smooth sound. Even after 25 years of not playing, I was able to run up and down the scale with ease. The horn came with a different mouthpiece that giving me a headache because I could barely make the thing squawk. The Yamaha 4C is the best & normally retails for $40. I love it!!!

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 took on Tenor Sax for Jazz Band, but the $2,000 rental instrument came with a horrid mouthpiece (yeah, it's ridiculous). It felt like I was blowing through a straw, and I could not get any dynamics out of it. But from the moment I put this mouthpiece on, it was so much better. Gives quite a rich tone and its nice and open; even vibrato is easier. For a $20 mouthpiece, this thing is stellar. I could get nothing out of the thing I used before, but now I can make the instrument speak. I'll be using this thing until its time for a professional mouthpiece.

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.

Exactly what the add describes.

Mouth piece is fine. But delivery was pathetic.

Prompt und problemlos

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