Detail 01
Hard rubber body
Warmer, rounder tone than metal, and less temperature-sensitive against the lip. Also softer material, so it dents if dropped.

MeyerHard Rubber Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece 5 Medium
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber baritone sax mouthpiece with a medium 5 tip opening. For bari players who want a straightforward step up from a stock mouthpiece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bari players moving off the mouthpiece that came with the horn
- School and community band bari chairs needing consistent response
- Doublers who want a familiar hard rubber feel on bari
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tenor or alto players — this fits baritone necks only
- Players chasing a bright, loud metal mouthpiece sound
- Anyone unwilling to spend on reeds and a ligature to match
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5 tip opening
On the close side. Less air needed, easier control, but a lower ceiling on volume and bend than wider tips.
Detail 03
Medium chamber
Middle-ground blowing resistance. Neither the darkest nor the most cutting option, which makes it forgiving across styles.
Detail 04
Baritone saxophone fit
Sized for a bari neck cork only. It will not seat on tenor, alto, or soprano.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength works with a 5 tip opening?
A closer tip like the 5 generally pairs with a slightly harder reed. Most bari players land around 2.5 to 3.5 here, then adjust by feel.
02Does this come with a ligature?
Plan on buying a ligature and cap separately. A ligature sized for hard rubber baritone mouthpieces is what you want.
03Will this fit my tenor?
No. This is cut for baritone saxophone. Tenor needs a tenor mouthpiece with a smaller bore and shorter shank.
04Hard rubber or metal for baritone?
Hard rubber gives a warmer, more blended sound that sits well in a section. Metal projects harder and cuts through a loud band.
