RicoMetalite Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece M7
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hard rubber baritone sax mouthpiece with a medium-open tip. A step up from a stock student mouthpiece without going to a specialty piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students moving past the mouthpiece their horn came with
- Players wanting more projection in a jazz band
- Doublers needing a workable bari piece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Alto or tenor players — this fits baritone only
- Classical players wanting a close, dark chamber
- Anyone happy with their current 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
Baritone sax fit
Sized for a bari neck cork only. Won't seat on alto or tenor.
Detail 03
Metalite material
Hard rubber with a brighter response than typical rubber pieces. Holds up to daily case-and-gig handling.
Detail 04
Mouthpiece only
The piece itself. Reeds, ligature and cap are separate purchases.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No ligature, cap or reeds included
- 02Your existing bari ligature may not fit — check the barrel diameter
- 03A more open tip usually means dropping a half reed strength
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will my current ligature fit this mouthpiece?
Not guaranteed. Ligature fit depends on the barrel shape and diameter, so check yours against the piece or plan on buying one.
02What reed strength should I use?
A medium-open tip like the M7 usually pairs with a softer reed than a close-tip piece. Many players drop a half strength.
03Does this fit a tenor sax?
No. It's cut for baritone saxophone. Tenor takes a smaller mouthpiece.
04Is this an upgrade over a student mouthpiece?
It's a step up in openness and projection from a stock student piece. It's not a high-end specialty mouthpiece.
