YibuyRose Gold B Flat Tenor Saxophone Sax Mouthpiece with Ligature Cap 9# 137x446x35mm

Could use a skilled professional to finely tune this mouthpiece. Materials and desighn are great.

It took forever to get this #9 tenor mouthpiece (about 6 weeks!!) I almost gave up on it ever coming, but it finally did, and I am glad I waited, instead of asking for a refund. It came nicely packaged and protected, and inside the box was an absolutely gorgeous looking mouthpiece, lig, and cap! I play professionally every weekend, and I own about 40 mouthpieces. I recently bought a Jody Jazz #8, a Sugal #8, and a Berg 105. All three went back. (I liked the Berg, but it was not quite open enough for me, and I might at some point try another). I did not care for the JJ or Sugal at all... (For reference, I find my Beechler metal #8 to be my favorite in the high power mouthpieces, followed by a Eugene Rosseau metal #8, which is just a little bit less powerful. My favorite low power piece is an Otto Link metal #7*). This Yibuy #9 (at least the one I received) came through with flawless build quality, and perfect finish. Although it is listed as a #9, I would say it plays more like a 7 or 7*. The interior dimensions and constuction look very similar to a modern Berg, but I do believe the Chinese people never try to duplicate things- they choose instead to mimic products and attempt to improve, or at least put their own spin on them, with mixed results. This one is a winner! It is almost as powerful as my Beechler, and almost sounds as good. If you get one, you will need to go about 2 opening sizes bigger than what you would get with most other mouthpieces. Also, it is a very bright, "modern" sounding mouthpiece, but the sound is quite rich and punchy, and not overly harsh. (For reference, I find my Dukoff D8 to be too harsh). I like the older style Rovner lig on both this piece and my Beechler, to tame the edge a bit, but it still sounds good with the supplied lig. Another thing I would like to point out- This piece might or might not have a gold plated finish. It has what looks to be a rose gold lacquer finish, which might have a tendency to wear a bit quicker. Or perhaps it is a gold plating, with a rose lacquer over it. I have two other mouthpieces made by this company, one in gold plating and one in silver plating, and the plating appears to be genuine on both.

It looks fantastic! I am a bit concerned about the tip opening etc. but then again I have not tried all of my different reeds with this. Right now I have a Yamaha plasticover reed with my Rovner 1M (Dark, Leather) ligature. My ligature is for my alto sax, yet it fits this perfectly. The ligature that comes with this is fine, and the metal cap is fine, if you are not using a Rovner ligature (too big for this cap). Anyway, pricing, fast delivery etc. it sounds and plays well. The timbre is different than a plastic mouthpiece and I am able to hit all registers comfortably. No resistance but rather great response.

With a good reed performs like the the expensive ones

Just great!!!

True performance: resonance & responsiveness.

Just as good as mouthpieces costing hundreds of dollars more!

The ligature on the Rose Gold is too small. So I’m using the ligature that comes with the (Gold 9* MP).

...Mundstück kam bereits zerkratzt und Bissplatte beschädigt an. Die Ligatur machte nur noch mehr Kratzer und die Rovner Lig. von meinem Tenor die ich bereits besitze ist viel zu groß. Mit Mühe und Not mit der gelieferten Lig. zusammen gesetzt und dadurch nur noch mehr Kratzer verursacht. Die Oberfläche blättert ab und sieht bereits so aus, als wäre es 5 Jahre im Dauereinsatz. Das einzig gute an dem MPC ist wirklich der unglaublich satte Klang aber durch die ganzen Beschädigungen vergeht einem die Lust daran. Zum Glück über Amazon bestellt Rückgabe und Erstattung ohne Probleme, jedoch ärgerlich das man sich darauf freut, so lange darauf wartet und dann ernüchternd feststellen muss das keine Endkontrolle stattgefunden hat. Man sollte sich im Vorfeld gut überlegen ob man sich das antun möchte. Nichts für Anfänger und schwache Nerven. Wer schon einige Ligaturen hat, würde eher Altogröße empfehlen, kann da bestimmt was daraus basteln, dass es einem passt. Am besten die dazu gelieferte Lig. direkt in den Müll. Gar nicht benutzen, sonst hat man sofort Kratzer. NUR für den Klang und den unglaublich guten Service von Amazon gibt es jeweils 1 Stern. Ansonsten nicht zu empfehlen. Wie gesagt, ausser man hat einiges an Ersatz daheim rumliegen und verzichtet auf die Lig. Sehr, sehr schade. Man könnte mehr draus machen. Leder Ligatur und bessere Endkontrolle wäre schon mal ein Anfang.

Me gusta porque es una boquilla muy cómoda para tocar y muy equilibrada en el sonido, con un brillo medio a más ladino, dependiendo de la caña que de use para tocarlas. Recomiendo una de 2½ o 3 en Palsticover Rico, o Vandoren Java Red en 2½ o 3 también. La boquilla tiene una apertura de #9, pero realmente viene siendo una 7 o 7*. Ya que me da muy bien en los subtonos y notas altísimas. Buen producto para quienes quieren tocar cómodamente sin invertir en un principio por una boquilla más costosa.El único problema es que se le cae el baño de color rosa, hay que retirarlo con mucho cuidado y lijar la boquilla. Hay que pensar en que puede quedar con el fondo de latón.

Buenos graves y agudos. Facilidad para sacar armónicos. Considero que es una "copia" bastante bien conseguida de una Guardala.La boquilla se me queda floja en el corcho del tudel, si quiero tocar afinado, pero si cambio el corcho, no me valdrían las otras boquillas que uso. Lo estoy solucionando con una tira de tela enrollada.

took a while to arrive

Una boquilla al estilo Brecker muy buena
