RicoGraftonite Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece C-7
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Graftonite tenor sax mouthpiece in a C-7 facing. A low-cost step up from a stock student mouthpiece, aimed at players finding their sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students replacing the mouthpiece that shipped with a rental tenor
- Players who want a firmer, more defined tone than a stock piece gives
- A spare mouthpiece for the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto, soprano, or baritone sax — this is tenor only
- Advanced players with an established hard-rubber or metal setup
- Anyone needing a specific chamber size for a known setup
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
C-7 designation
Chamber letter plus tip opening number. The number climbs as the tip opens; C is the chamber shape.
Detail 03
Tenor saxophone fit
Bore and shank are cut for a tenor neck cork. Won't seat on alto or bari.
Detail 04
Chamber shape
Chamber volume affects how dark or bright the piece sounds and how much air it takes to fill.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No ligature, cap, or reeds included — you'll need all three

- 03New neck cork may need greasing or light sanding for a snug fit
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength should I use with this?
Tip opening drives reed choice — more open tips generally pair with softer reeds. Start where you are now and adjust by feel.
02Will my current ligature fit?
Not guaranteed. Ligatures are sized to mouthpiece diameter, so budget for one if yours doesn't clamp evenly.
03Is this an upgrade over my stock mouthpiece?
For most student horns, yes — you get a defined chamber and facing rather than a generic included piece.
04Can I use this on alto sax?
No. It's cut for a tenor neck and won't seal on an alto.
