BetterSax Classic Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece - Durable Plastic Construction, Ideal for Professionals and Beginners | Made in the USA, Hand-Finished, Reed Friendly, Ideal for beginners in Concert band, Jazz band and Marching band

I've been playing around 4 or 5 days now,I'm qualified enough as a beginner to say IMO, this is the best mouthpiece to buy as a beginner ( for me at least....a little disclaimer 🤭) Whilst waiting for the cheapest alto saxophone on Amazon to turn up ( I sorta wish I'd paid the £100 for next day delivery 🤣) I purchased a few items to go with it. Reeds both cane and synthetic, low to medium,a Rovner ligature, also a Rico mouthpiece. I'd read reviews, most of which said " get the Yamaha 4C". Now I like to do my own thing😊, so bought a Rico B5. I love the tone of it,but find it a little tricky to play. I realised this after a day, and sore lips. So, I ordered the 4C. This arrived, straight away I could see why it was recommended for beginners. But I wasn't too keen on the volume, I can't play it quietly. It seems to be either volume set to around 6 or full volume, but maybe that's just me🤔🤭 I've been trawling YouTube for lessons, and came across Jay Metcalf. After watching a few videos, I realised he was high up at Bettersax,and thought maybe it's a marketing thing, but who cares. The guy is passionate about all things sax! He comes across as honest and trustworthy, and the passion seems down to the finest detail. Kudos to that man for making decent beginners equipment available at an economical price. So I took a punt on this mouthpiece too, admittedly the cheaper mouthpieces are starting to get expensive now collectively. My first impressions with this are " Eureka". It plays just as easily as the 4C, if not easier!? Honestly, I was blown away by how much easier the 4C was compared to the Rico. But this mouthpiece seems to combine the qualities of both. A nice tone,that's easy to produce, and the sound is that easy to produce,that you don't need to blow hard. So you can play at a lower volume.Personally, I probably prefer the tone of the Rico, but this is so much,much,much easier to get a nice sound out of the instrument. For a complete beginner, this is the mouthpiece I would recommend. The quality is great at such a low mark up. When its time for me to upgrade, the Bettersax line is where I'll be looking. If their cheapest mouthpiece can do this much for my playing, I can only imagine what their instruments are like 😁👍

Alto sax mouthpiece is awesome .

This is a good alternative mouthpiece to the Yamaha 4c. It has a slightly larger tip opening than the 4c, so for young student I'd probably stick with the Yamaha but the BetterSax is a good option for an adult.

I purchased this mouthpiece for my 11 year old grandchild. They were happy to receive it and could hardly wait to use it. It was easy for them to install and it fits their Alto saxophone perfectly. It wasn’t very expensive and I’m glad I chose it because it’s made of quality material and helps my grandchild to produce a good sound with it.

We love this mouthpiece! My son (9) paired this with a synthetic reed and the sound was perfect. Everyone was saying how good her sounded playing it.
