MeyerHard Rubber Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece 7 Medium
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber baritone sax mouthpiece, 7 tip opening with a medium chamber. For baritone players stepping up from a stock student mouthpiece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baritone players outgrowing the mouthpiece that shipped with the horn
- Section work where a centered, even sound matters more than volume
- Doublers wanting a familiar hard rubber feel on bari
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto, tenor or soprano players — baritone blanks are much larger
- Players who need maximum edge and cut for loud amplified stages
- Beginners still on their first months of tone production
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
7 tip opening
A mid-range opening on the Meyer scale. Wider openings need more air and generally pair with softer reeds.
Detail 03
Medium chamber
The inner volume behind the tip. Medium keeps the sound centered rather than very spread or very compressed.
Detail 04
Baritone size
Physically large. Your reeds, ligature and cap must all be baritone-specific; nothing carries over from tenor.
Detail 05
$363.64
Professional-tier pricing. This is a long-term mouthpiece, not a stopgap between student horns.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Your existing baritone ligature may not fit this blank — check before your first gig
- 02Budget for baritone reeds; strength that worked on your old piece may not transfer
- 03Hard rubber discolors with UV and heat — keep it out of hot cars
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength should I use with a 7?
Start a half to a full strength softer than what you used on a narrower stock mouthpiece. The wider tip needs more room for the reed to vibrate.
02Is hard rubber better than metal?
Different, not better. Hard rubber tends toward a warmer, rounder sound; metal tends brighter and more cutting. Choose by the sound you want.
03Does this fit tenor sax?
No. This is the baritone size. The blank is larger and takes baritone reeds and a baritone ligature.
04How do I care for hard rubber?
Swab it out after playing, wash occasionally with lukewarm water, and store it away from sunlight and heat to slow discoloration.
