Cap and Ligature included

Bari Hawk II for Alto
The "Hawk II" offering is the first innovation for saxophone mouthpieces since the introduction of the "wedge" or "high baffle". Radically new chambers are contoured for maximum projection, making this high-end Jazz mouthpiece husky, warm and very reed friendly. A mouthpiece for today's requirements. Since the neck cork mutes vibrations, an "Enhancer" was devised that collects these muted vibrations into a mini echo-chamber. With the "Enhancer" in place, the tone becomes intensely focused. This is an "add-on" that truly "Enhances" the sound.

Gold plating.

Cap/Lig. and "Enhancer" incl.

Berg Larsen Stainless Steel Mouthpiece for Alto
When selecting a mouthpiece, there are a number of factors to consider.

1) Tip Opening. The tip opening is the distance between the tip of the reed and the tip of the mouthpiece, measured in thousands of an inch. Generally speaking, the wider the tip opening, the softer the reed that may be used. For most beginners a narrower tip opening will result in a clearer tone and more consistent intonation.

2) Tone Chamber. The degree of edge or brightness the player obtains is dictated by the size of the tone chamber. Referring to the diagram above, the more 'baffle' that is built into the tone chamber, the more edge the tone will have. A '0' tone chamber will have the most edge and a '3' will have a more mellow tone.

Chamber numbers '0' and '3' are custom models and carry a £48.00 GB Pound surcharge.

Yanagisawa Metal for Alto
Silver plated solid brass and one of our most popular models.

With metal cap & ligature.

"For me, this is one of the best metal mouthpieces. It delivers all the qualities that you'd expect from a metal mouthpiece, such as power, projection and brightness in sound, but what impressed me was the smoothness in tone. This is a rare feature in metal mouthpieces as they can so often sound "edgy", or without body. With the Yani the tone has lots of body to it, and a nice soft undertone, making it great for ensemble playing, such as big band work. - Jim, sax.co.uk.
