Mouthpieces are not one size fits all. Each type of saxophone uses a different size and type of mouthpiece. Alto and tenor saxophones use a larger mouthpiece than soprano and baritone saxophones. There are also different types of mouthpieces for each type of saxophone. Soprano saxophones use a straight mouthpiece, while alto and tenor saxophones use a curved mouthpiece. Baritone saxophones use the largest mouthpiece of all the saxophones.
If you are a beginner saxophonist, you may not be sure how to tell if your reed is bad. Here are some signs that your reed may be bad: -The reed feels dry or brittle -The reed sounds harsh or tinny -The reed is chipped or cracked -The reed does not vibrate properly If you notice any of these signs, it is time to replace your reed. You can buy new reeds at most music stores.
A saxophone mouthpiece is one of the most important pieces of equipment for a saxophonist. It is the part of the instrument that the player blows into, and it affects the sound of the instrument. A good mouthpiece will help the player produce a rich, full sound, while a bad mouthpiece can make the saxophone sound thin and harsh. There are many different types and sizes of saxophone mouthpieces, and the best mouthpiece for a particular player depends on his or her individual playing style.
Most saxophone mouthpieces will last for many years. However, it is important to take care of your mouthpiece to ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Be sure to clean your mouthpiece after each use and store it in a safe place. You may also want to have your mouthpiece checked by a professional every few years to ensure that it is in good condition.

In order to replace the neoprene neckstrap I've been wearing since high school, I made the decision to acquire this. That one is fantastic, however now that I'm a band director, I wander around my room holding my instrument around my neck because the neoprene simply had too much give. As a result, my instrument jumped around a lot. I was interested in trying out another leather neckstrap like this one, but the price was higher than what I was ready to pay at the time. I enjoy it thus far! The length of the string itself is my only gripe. I find it to be a little excessive. To get my instrument at the right playing height, I had to fully tighten the buckle. After that, it is very tight at the front of my neck, where I can feel some pressure. Although I play an alto and am shorter than usual (5 feet), if you are taller than me or play a larger saxophone, that shouldn't be a problem for you. I'm considering reducing the strings myself to improve the neckstrap as it's already rather comfy (I'm still waiting for the shipping crease to level out). I would unquestionably suggest it to my taller friends who are looking for an affordable, non-stretchable neckstrap.

Gasp! Why is it even permitted to have those around your neck? When I first started, I started wearing one of those, and the ache after an hour was depressing. I purchased a harness kind, but I didn't like how difficult it was to get in and out of. Additionally, the clip limited where I could comfortably play the tenor sax.I ordered this with great trepidation because it was unlike anything I had ever seen. I was concerned that it would press into my diaphragm and that the shoulder straps would break while being adjusted (It was perfectly adjusted when I got it).Let's fast-forward a few months: the diaphragm being pressed against? Don't even think about it. neck ache? Gone! Simple to apply? one hand only. comfort with playing the sax? I can now swing the saxophone around and perform in front of or to the side because the hook hangs from a rope rather than a harness. When playing to the side, the shoulder "supports" do tend to migrate to the right, but strangely, this is not a problem. This saxholder is a work of ergonomic art! It is expertly crafted and well-designed. With just one hand, you can quickly attach and detach the hook. When you're ready to put your sax away, the Saxholder folds into a straightforward shape that fits inside the sax's bell. It has no clip spring or dog chain mechanism. This product's design must have involved a saxophonist in some way because it is flawless.

I messed up the first sheet, so it was good to get two. In my defense, I tried using contact cement that came in a tube because that was all the local hobby shop had. For the second, I was able to locate a can of contact cement in Walmart's paint aisle, and it was the ideal solution. I applied contact cement equally to one side of the cork, covered it with painters tape and a little additional tape to hold it in place, and let it to cure. After cleaning and lightly sanding the neck and evenly coating the area to be corked, I wrapped the cork around and easily trimmed it. Using the appropriate glue was the key to success. I removed the excess once it had dried, reheated it, and fitted the mouthpiece. The outcome was flawless.

I've just used one of the pads so far, and it went without any issues. I am not currently in a position to write a lengthy evaluation. Just this morning, I was knocked to the ground with a kidney injury, and I am currently working through the process of mentally coping with the pain. I lost my wife and participated in her memorial service. I simply can't give much of a review right now because I don't have someone to assist me. I hope you get the idea.

I have an Erik-the-Flutemaker All-Terrain Tenor Saxophone, which is a basic flute with a saxophone mouthpiece and available on Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/All-Terrain-Tenor-Saxophone-Key-Professional/dp/B018N0YC7U/. It has no hole coverings or connections.A Rico *tenor* reed (strength 1.5), a *alto* Rico B5 MP, and a no-name, thin metal ligature with two screws, a sizable circular hole in the front, and rectangular holes on either side were included with my tenor saxophlute. This is the configuration required for this specific instrument.My MP is glued into place, so it cannot be changed. The ligature and reed, however, are replaceable. I enjoyed the Rico reed that came with the saxophlute's warm, organic woody sound. However, I discovered that the upper notes strayed in pitch and, with my inexperience, squeaked too easily (partly because this was my first reed instrument). Additionally, I detested having to soak the reed before playing because it was a hassle.So I gave a synthetic Légère "Studio Cut" reed (available at this link on Amazon) a go. It had a warmer, more natural sound that I liked but was harder to play, far more consistent, and pitch-stable. With time and practice, I was able to manage and soften its tone. The tenor bass notes were loud and rich, but the high notes were unpleasant.The setup was then completed with this Rovner Dark Classic inverted ligature. It was a huge improvement. Now, I am much happier. To truly fit the mouthpiece, this lig needs to stretch in for about a week.This "Dark" light muted the harshness and darkened the tone. The combination of this sax, mouthpiece, reed, and ligature is successful.Take note of the rubber bands on the accompanying Rovner MP cover in the pictures. The rubber bands tighten the cover of the B5 MP's rather small and narrow mouthpiece to ensure a tight fit. (I keep the rubber bands in position for good. They don't need to be taken out or changed. As you put the cover into place, they simply give the ideal snug fit.

Reeds are challenging to take out of this holder, as was mentioned in another review, especially if you force them in. In addition, and linked to this, the component that secures the reed is rigid and hard. As a result, I've noticed a "dent" on the top surface of the reeds kept in this holder. It's beyond my playing and listening abilities to say whether or not this affects the sound or durability of the reed, but if you are very particular and protective of your reeds, you might want to explore elsewhere.Similar in design and operation, the Conn-Selmer reed holder appears to perform significantly better. It uses an elastic band for each of the reed slots instead of a rigid piece of plastic to hold the reed in place, which makes it considerably simpler to remove reeds without damaging them.Update 12/3/13: I've grown to like this reed holder more and have raised my rating to 4 stars.

It was initially a little bit fiddly for me. It took some effort on my part to get it onto my 4c mouthpiece properly, but once it was in place, there was no way it was moving. I purchased it together with a Yamaha 4C, and I enjoy both of them. It's unfortunate that it isn't included with a new Yamaha mouthpiece, but I understand why they are offered separately, and the cost isn't prohibitive.

I located what I was looking for when it came to the Ricco case. If you only use the top portion, you could possibly, if you really wanted to, install a humidity pack on the bottom that looked exactly like the Ricco one. Although I haven't tried it, it might even fit if there were reeds on the other side. Overall, the casing seems a touch light, but after adding all the reeds, it takes on a lovely weight. that is fantastic. Although I wish they were flatter, I appreciate how the reeds rest flat. However, I believe you need a glass case for that. I had no problems with the case's opening at all. Up till I cut my nails, but as long as you can jam your nail in there, everything is good. Literally, that was the only issue raised by anyone. It was my primary motivation for purchasing this. My only notice after using the case for a few months is that the shiny section is prone to scratches.UPDATE: A small humidity pack can still fit within Bb clarinet reeds. There is space for the second row of reeds even after I taped mine to the case.
Reeds for saxophone come in all different shapes, sizes, and materials. They also have a wide range of durability, with some reeds only lasting a few days while others can last up to a year. The average reed will last around 4-6 weeks if properly taken care of.
The alto saxophone has 23 keys and 6 levers.
There are 23 keys on a saxophone. The keys are used to produce different notes by opening and closing the holes in the instrument. The topmost key is called the mouthpiece key, and the keys below it are called the trill keys. The keys on the saxophone are used to produce a range of notes, from the lowest bass notes to the highest treble notes.
The saxophone mouthpiece has three main parts: the tip rail, the baffle, and the throat. The tip rail is the part of the mouthpiece that you put your lips on. The baffle is the part of the mouthpiece that reflects the sound waves back into the saxophone. The throat is the part of the mouthpiece that controls the airflow.
The saxophone is a wind instrument that is part of the woodwind family. Saxophones are usually made of brass and they have a conical bore. The conical bore helps to produce a rich, full sound. The saxophone has a mouthpiece, reed, and ligature. The mouthpiece is the part of the saxophone that the player blows into. The reed is a thin piece of material that vibrates to create sound. The ligature is a strap or band that is used to hold the reed in place.
A saxophone ligature is a device that is used to attach the reed to the mouthpiece of the instrument. The ligature holds the reed in place while the player is performing. There are many different types of ligatures available on the market, and the type that is used will depend on the player’s preference. Some ligatures are made of metal, while others are made of leather or other materials.
