Review: Pretty good price for the quality of the sound - One of the best mouthpiece I've ever had in really enjoyed it Plays really loud and soth as I wanted i might leave a link in the description to help people hear what I get from it
Review: Nice mouthpiece - Although my short experience on the sax (1 year) doesn't allow me to take full advantage of a wider tip opening, I give this product 4 stars because its quality is excellent and it performs well, provided you have a powerful air column and a firm embouchure. After a few minutes of warming up with whole notes on the lower register I was able to produce a decent sound, but a short while later I couldn't avoid over-biting or running out of air. So, in a nutshell... "this is a good mouthpiece, but it is not for beginners"

## Questions & Answers

**Q: \What  is the value of the different  Alto Rico Graftonite mouth pieces ?**
A: Check the Rico website for info on their
different mouthpieces.

**Q: Does it work on a clarinet?**
A: This model is specifically for alto saxophone. It would not work on clarinet.

**Q: Which is best for a complete beginner?**
A: If the student is very small physically (like some 4th graders), then the B3.  
If they are average size (5th & 6th grade), and can learn to use lip muscles for Embouchure instead of jaw pressure (biting); then the B5 offers many advantages.  This works very well with the orange box Rico #2 reed. The B chamber offers a warmer sound and easier response for Band  playing.

**Q: Is there a conversion chart of the different mouthpieces? ie...something comparable to the Yamaha alto sax 4C, but in the Rico mouthpieces.**
A: Yes. At a different online retailer. Search for "saxophone mouthpiece comparison chart" on your favorite search engine. Here is the link, if it comes through for you: http://www.wwbw.com/Buyer-Guides-Saxophone-Mouthpiece-g25074t0.wwbw

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good price for the quality of the sound
*by N***Y on November 14, 2025*

One of the best mouthpiece I've ever had in really enjoyed it Plays really loud and soth as I wanted i might leave a link in the description to help people hear what I get from it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice mouthpiece
*by E***L on May 1, 2014*

Although my short experience on the sax (1 year) doesn't allow me to take full advantage of a wider tip opening, I give this product 4 stars because its quality is excellent and it performs well, provided you have a powerful air column and a firm embouchure. After a few minutes of warming up with whole notes on the lower register I was able to produce a decent sound, but a short while later I couldn't avoid over-biting or running out of air. So, in a nutshell... "this is a good mouthpiece, but it is not for beginners"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great mouthpiece for the money
*by A***N on June 6, 2016*

This is a great mouthpiece for the money. The roll over compound baffle can be built up with baffle enhancers to make a great step up mouthpiece for students that plays like a much more expensive mouthpiece. It can be a real screamer for lead Alto or Tenor in big band or rock group. Just play softly and it can function well with a warm, round glowing sound in concert band as well. Extremely versatile set up. It is polycarbonate and almost indestructible. Arnold Brilhart was a great man; he knew exactly what he was doing.
