Selected User Reviews For Meyer MR-402-6MM Rubber Alto Sax Mouthpiece
After watching and listening to countless YouTube videos about which mouthpiece is best for an Alto Saxophone, I decided to purchase this mouthpiece. I've been playing since I was in sixth grade, and I'm now seventy years old. The horn I'm currently using is a student horn that I got for a bargain from a local teen who had lost interest in it. It's a Buscher BU-100. The standard mouthpiece was constrictive and lacked any personality. I was torn between the Meyer 5 MM and the Meyer 6 MM, but after realizing that the embouchure, along with the reed and the mouthpiece, is perhaps the most important factor in tone quality, I went with the 6 MM. This mouthpiece differs significantly from the stock MP in that it produces a much fuller, louder, and brighter tone while also allowing more air to pass through the horn without restriction. Since then, I've added the 5MM to my shopping cart. The opening between the reed and the tip of the mouthpiece on the 6 MM is a little wider than on the 5 MM, and while I can play it, holding the tones of the notes requires a little more effort with facial muscles. I'll be getting the 5MM soon, and I'm excited to see what the difference is. In comparison to the Jody Jazz, Vandoren, and other mouthpieces I considered, I believe this one is the best all-around solution for my needs. Both the Meyer 6 MM and 5 MM were purchased as "used" items, but when they arrived, they were in fact brand new and in their original packaging. Any beginner, student, or returning player who has a stock mouthpiece would benefit greatly from upgrading to a better, hard rubber mouthpiece over the stock plastic mouthpieces that come with the horn.
Purchase with a 5 star rating. If 5 stars equals an A, then this purchase is an "A-. " “. The "minus" refers to the included ligature. It's of poor quality and, more importantly, it doesn't quite fit when the reed is added. (Check out the other reviews for more information on the ligature's size and fit. ) )br>br>However, I consider the mouthpiece to be a solid 5 Stars! The sound of your sax should be much deeper, clearer, and smoother. To hear the difference in tone quality for yourself, use your current mouthpiece/reed/ligature setup for a few minutes before switching to your new Meyer mouthpiece. Almost certainly, you will exclaim, "Wow!" As soon as I blew into my sax and hit the first run, I was completely enamored with it. Down to Bb and up to high altissimo, there are solid lows. Everything in between was silky smooth, solid, and in tune. even if it's a little obnoxious at times Middle C and C were in tune and easily controlled. The "growls" were also enjoyable to listen to. You can easily bend the notes and keep them in tune at the same time. br>br>In conclusion, I am very pleased with the mouthpiece. 5 Stars! I'm just curious as to why the default ligature is nearly useless. But I guess it's just a dummy ligature, and they expect you to bring your own or upgrade when you buy the mouthpiece.
For a long time, I had heard about Meyer's reputation and had spent months looking for my own vintage Meyer. I finally made the decision to purchase a new one and see how it performs. br>br>For me, the short answer is that it works great! I replaced it with a vintage Meyer borrowed from a friend and found no difference in sound or feel. I use 2 to 3 reeds on a Selmer Mark VI alto and love the crystal clear tone I can get with this setup.
I'm somewhere between advanced beginner and intermediate, and I've been playing on a Yamaha 4C for a while. The Yamaha mouthpiece was a significant improvement over the saxophone's stock mouthpiece in terms of playability, tone, and response. Switching to the Meyer gave me an even bigger boost (why didn't anyone tell me the sax had a bright switch?). ) The volume was instantly increased, and the dynamics were more easily controlled; The playability was much improved, and the tone was incredibly pleasing. br>I'm using a Vandoren Java Green no. 2 mouthpiece on it, and it's working fine. br>The Meyer has a slightly longer tip distance than the Yamaha 4C, but after two minutes, I couldn't tell the difference.
For my son, this was a huge step up. It greatly aided him in achieving a more controlled tone. He was able to hit notes in the higher and lower registers with greater ease as a result of it. It was well worth the money.
Purchased on the basis of a YouTube recommendation; it sounded good, but the one that arrived was heavily used, despite the fact that it had been advertised as new. I went back for some new D'Addario Jazz D, which I really like for both tenor and alto saxophones. br>br>The tenor is a YTS 62, while the alto is a used YAS 280, both of which sound great thanks to the D'Addario mouthpieces.
Never having played the saxophone before, I purchased this mouthpiece after watching a sax teacher on YouTube recommend it. I suppose the mouthpiece is fine, but the ligature that came with it was difficult for me to use. On the side of the mouthpiece, I now have three scratches. I purchased a Rovner mk ||| ligature, which is far more convenient to use.
When I go out to buy a new mouthpiece, there are a few things I look for. ) It's a good fit for me and how I like to play. ) In general, the cost-to-performance ratio/affordability ) Ergonomics and material. ) And, finally, brand/look, despite our best efforts to deny it. br>However, this mouthpiece does not cut any corners and produces a very rich and full tone. This mouthpiece is almost perfect in my opinion.
