RicoGraftonite Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece B Chamber / 7 Facing
Sale
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber alto sax mouthpiece with a medium-wide 7 tip and B chamber. A step up from a stock student mouthpiece without changing your setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Student players outgrowing the mouthpiece that came with the horn
- Band and concert playing where a centered tone matters
- Doubling players who need a spare alto piece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a bright, edgy sound for rock or funk
- Tenor or soprano players — this is alto only
- Anyone already on a professional hard rubber or metal piece
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
B chamber
Chamber size shapes resistance and how dark the tone sits. B is the narrower of the Graftonite chambers.
Detail 03
Graftonite material
Molded plastic rather than machined hard rubber. Keeps the price low and stands up to being dropped.
Detail 04
Alto saxophone
The shank fits alto necks only. It will not seat on a tenor, soprano, or bari.
Detail 05
Under $35
Cheap enough to try a new tip opening or chamber without committing to a pro-level piece.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength works with a 7 facing?
Medium strengths, roughly 2 to 3, are the usual starting point. Go softer if the tip opening feels resistant, harder if the sound spreads.
02Does this come with a ligature?
No. Mouthpiece only. You will need a ligature and cap sized for an alto hard rubber body.
03Will this fit my tenor sax?
No. This is an alto mouthpiece and the bore and shank are sized for an alto neck.
04Is this an upgrade over a student mouthpiece?
It gives you a defined tip opening and chamber to work with, which most bundled student mouthpieces do not specify.
