Vandoren SM712 AL4 Optimum Series Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

Not really what I was looking for but not a bad mouthpiece at all.

We bought 2 in a sale and found one was totally defective, the tip rails were not even cut straight. The other was close to being made right and that played well and produced a nice sound with a Rovner mk3 ligature and vandoren traditional reeds. So buyer beware, the quality is variable on once reliable Vandoren mouthpieces. Sadly low C was out of tune on my sons saxophone and his existing green Yanagisawa 4 alto mouthpiece had cleaner attacks, better intonation and a more compact sound. But I preferred the AL4 sound. Looking through the neck hole the AL4 had a slightly bigger round chamber diameter. It is probable a harder reed on the medium short facing may have improved the tuning. So I can give 5 stars for the good one and 1 star for the reject (the hole did go all the way through it). My son would give the good AL4 3 out of 5 because he has a good fit already and efforts to improve on it have proven futile. Neither of us like the stuffy smaller AL3, which is very popular. Someone else will love it.

SS SA80→MP SL4オプティマム→音響音程最適化適合ゆえにAS SERIE IIIにAL4を試し購入→中古品であったがTable Facing,Side Rail,Tip Railは添付の通り機械加工痕跡を残した未使用品的美観で音響音程もSL4同様を確認できとても良い買い物ができ満足しています。添付にはリングを追加していますが今回購入した品です。

アルト初心者でもとっても吹きやすいです！

Sonido oscuro, me quedo muy cómoda y de excelente calidad. Como recomendación checar en la pagina de Vandoren la numeración de caña recomendada.
