Detail 01
5C facing
Yamaha's mid-range tip opening. Easier to control than an open facing, and it plays well on medium-strength reeds.

Yamaha5C Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Baritone sax mouthpiece with Yamaha's standard 5C facing — a medium chamber, medium tip opening. Sensible replacement for a stock student-horn piece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Student and school baritone players needing a reliable stock replacement
- Concert band and section work where blend matters more than volume
- Doublers who want a predictable, low-resistance baritone piece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing a loud, bright funk or rock bari sound
- Anyone wanting a wide tip opening for heavy pitch bending
- Players already on a pro-level facing looking for an upgrade
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-specific
Sized only for baritone sax. It will not fit tenor, alto, or bass clarinet necks.
Detail 03
C chamber
Medium chamber gives a rounded, centered tone rather than an edgy, projecting one.
Detail 04
Price point
Sits well under boutique hard-rubber and metal pieces, so it is a low-risk way to replace a lost or chipped mouthpiece.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Reeds, ligature and cap are separate purchases — confirm what ships with it
- 02Check your ligature actually clamps this body before playing
- 03New mouthpieces often shift intonation slightly; be ready to adjust neck cork position
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my baritone sax?
It fits standard baritone saxophone necks. Cork thickness varies between horns, so a well-worn or over-greased cork may need a small adjustment for a snug fit.
02What reed strength should I use with a 5C?
The 5C's medium tip opening pairs well with medium-strength reeds. Softer reeds feel loose, very hard reeds feel stiff and resistant.
03Is this an upgrade over my student mouthpiece?
It matches what many student baritones ship with. If your current piece is damaged or unbranded, this is a consistent, known-quantity replacement.
04Does it come with a ligature?
Confirm the contents before ordering. Plan on supplying your own ligature, cap and reeds unless the packaging states otherwise.
