MeyerHard Rubber Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece - 6M
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber baritone sax mouthpiece with a mid-range tip opening. For bari players moving off a stock piece who want a fuller, more flexible sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bari chairs in big band and jazz combo sections
- Players who want note bending without extra jaw pressure
- Doublers wanting a familiar hard rubber feel on bari
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical bari players needing a dark, uniform concert tone
- Alto or tenor players — baritone shank only
- Loud rock or ska horn lines needing maximum projection
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
6 tip opening
Middle of the range. Open enough to bend and shape notes, not so open that long sets wear out your embouchure.
Detail 03
M designation
Marks the chamber pairing in Meyer's system. Chamber size affects how broad or focused the sound sits under the tip opening.
Detail 04
Baritone shank
Sized for a bari neck cork. It will not seat on tenor or alto necks.
Detail 05
Reed pairing
A mid tip opening generally pairs with medium-strength bari reeds. Go softer if it feels resistant in the low register.
Detail 06
$363.64 price
Aftermarket tier. This changes your sound more than any reed or ligature swap on the same horn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Baritone mouthpieces are bulky — check your case has room
- 02Neck cork may need grease or light sanding to seat
- 03Your current ligature may not fit this body; sizing varies
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does the 6M mean?
The 6 is the tip opening — how far the reed sits off the tip rail. Higher numbers open further. The M marks the chamber pairing in Meyer's system.
02Hard rubber or metal for baritone?
Hard rubber gives a warmer, rounder sound and suits section and combo playing. Metal is brighter and louder, which matters more in amplified rock or funk horn lines.
03Will this fit my baritone sax?
It uses a standard baritone shank and fits a normal bari neck cork. It will not fit alto or tenor.
04Is a 6 tip too open for a student?
It is mid-range, not extreme. A student with a settled embouchure can handle it, though a closer tip takes less air and less endurance.
