Questions & Answers

Which is the better option_4c, 5c, or 6c?

The 4c mouthpiece is one of my favorites! It has an excellent sound range!

Which is the better option: 3c, 4c, or 5c?

It all depends on your level of expertise. Beginners (such as myself) usually opt for a 3C. A 4C is preferred by intermediate players, but a beginner can start with a 4C and work their way up. A 5C or higher is usually reserved for advanced saxophonists. I hope you found this information useful.

Selected User Reviews For Yamaha YAC 1285 Standard Series 3C Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

Mouthpiece is completely unnecessary! The famous 4C mouthpiece comes standard on all Yamaha saxes
3/5

I bought this 3C with no knowledge (as a beginner) of the various mouthpieces (sizes, materials, etc. ). If you want a good mouthpiece, skip the 4C and go for a Meyer, Vandoren, or Otto Link. one "down" The only reason anyone would want to play on this 3C is if they have a facial physical or dental issue that necessitates such a small tip. the start chamber.

For new players, this makes a huge difference
5/5

A few months ago, my son began playing the alto saxophone. We started going to band after renting a beginner instrument from a local music store, but my son had a lot of difficulties playing. I picked it up and tried to play it, but it was difficult even for me. I assumed it was leaking, but when I looked at the mouthpiece that came with the rental, I noticed that the tip opening was about twice as large as the opening on my tenor. I got this mouthpiece, and now we're both able to play comfortably. I was so taken with it that I purchased a 4C to use with my son's alto or to teach others how to play as beginners. br>br>It turns out that playing the student instrument is a lot of fun - If you're looking for a low-cost but high-quality lead, look no further than Cannonball. performing on a musical instrument.

Mouthpiece with a lot of versatility
5/5

For a beginner saxophonist like myself, this is an excellent all-around mouthpiece. I needed a mouthpiece that I could use with some of the softer reeds, ranging from 1. 5 to 2. 5 and be able to play competently for a novice. This one is a little more user-friendly than my Yamaha 4C Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece. Yamaha makes mouthpieces that are designed to be easy to blow because they are so passionate about their musical instruments.
