- Students replacing the mouthpiece that came with a rental
- Players wanting more volume in a concert band

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
3 facing
The medium tip opening here. Takes a moderate reed strength and does not demand a developed embouchure.
Detail 03
Alto saxophone
Sized for alto only. Tenor, soprano and baritone each take their own mouthpiece.
Detail 04
Graftonite
Molded plastic rather than hand-finished rubber. Consistent piece to piece and survives being dropped.
Detail 05
Price under $35
Entry-tier pricing. Buys a real upgrade over a stock student piece, not a step into professional territory.

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 3 facing?
Start around 2 to 2.5 and adjust. Harder reeds add resistance and volume; softer reeds make the response easier.
02Does this come with a ligature?
No. Ligature, cap and reeds are separate. A standard alto saxophone ligature will fit.
03What does the B chamber change versus the other chambers?
B is the medium chamber in the Graftonite line, sitting between the brighter and darker options in tone and resistance.
04Will this fit a tenor saxophone?
No. This is an alto mouthpiece. The cork and bore sizes differ between horns.
