- Jazz and combo playing where you shape your own tone
- Doublers who want one familiar tenor piece across horns
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere

- Anyone needing a full setup ready to play out of the box
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
Size 6 tip opening
Middle of the road. Takes less air pressure than a wide-open piece, so endurance is easier over a long set.
Detail 03
Tenor saxophone
The shank fits a tenor neck cork only. It will not seat on alto or baritone.
Detail 04
$205.51
Professional-tier pricing. This is a serious upgrade over a student mouthpiece, not an incremental one.
Detail 05
Meyer
A long-standing hard rubber design. Reed strengths and ligatures sized for Meyer blanks are widely available.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Your current ligature may not fit — hard rubber blanks vary in outside diameter
- 02Expect to re-test reed strength; a new tip opening changes what plays well
- 03Check your neck cork thickness so the piece seats at correct pitch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does the 6 mean on a Meyer mouthpiece?
It refers to the tip opening — the gap between reed tip and mouthpiece tip. Lower numbers are more closed and easier to control; higher numbers open up and need more air.
02Will this fit my tenor sax?
Yes, if it is a standard tenor saxophone. Fit depends on neck cork thickness, which can be sanded down or built up by a repair tech if needed.
03Do I need to change reeds?
Probably. A different tip opening usually shifts which reed strength feels right. Buy a mixed strength pack and test rather than assuming your current one carries over.
04Is hard rubber better than metal?
Different, not better. Hard rubber tends toward a warmer, darker sound; metal projects brighter and cuts more in loud settings. Choose by the sound you want.
