Instruments generally come with a mouthpiece supplied. However, as players progress on their instruments it is normal that they try and obtain a mouthpiece to suit their own playing techniques to improve and facilitate the playing of that instrument. Sometimes, a player may choose a mouthpiece with design features for a particular playing style (e.g. Jazz, Orchestral, etc.) and, here at Yamaha Music London, you'll find a range of Yamaha saxophone mouthpieces suitable for you.
Which one should I buy?
These Yamaha mouthpieces are available in both Standard (Plastic) and Custom (Ebonite) series. Check below for more detail or, alternatively, ask your teacher for advice.
