Best Saxophone Mouthpieces of 2025

"I decided to try this mouthpiece because I didn't want to spend a lot. Honestly, it works great and produces nice tones. It's the most basic and standard mouthpiece you can get, but it's perfect for my needs."

"As a beginner playing on a cheap Eastar alto, I was struggling to hit those altissimo notes. After receiving the Yamaha 4C, I was able to hit a perfect high F# right away! The difference in sound clarity and smoothness is incredible."

"This mouthpiece has been a game changer for me. It's easy to use and very comfortable. I used it for a couple of years, and while I did have some issues with high notes, it remains a great choice for beginners or those on a budget."

"This mouthpiece isn't the best, but it works well for the price. It's a great choice if you're just starting out, though I would consider upgrading if I plan to continue playing."

"I was pleased that the delivery was on time. The parts are not cheap, and my niece is thrilled with it. Everything is fully functional."

"This is exactly what I needed at a very good price. The delivery was quick!"

"When I mounted the 5C on my sax, I was amazed by the ease of playing and the powerful sound. It felt like the perfect fit for my style, and I can't wait to elevate my musical skills with this mouthpiece and reed combo. Highly recommended!"

"I decided to upgrade my granddaughter's mouthpiece to the 5C, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. After studying mouthpieces beforehand, I knew this design and quality would be perfect. The quick shipping was an added bonus!"

"My son struggled with his old mouthpiece, often squeaking and producing a tinny sound. Since switching to the 5C, his squeaking has dropped by 90%, and the richness of his sound is incredible. I highly recommend the 5C for a high-quality sound at a great price!"

"I purchased this mouthpiece after losing my original one, and I couldn't be happier. The Yamaha 4C mouthpiece outperforms my previous one in every aspect, from playability to sound and tuning. For just $25, it's a fantastic investment for any student. I understand why everyone recommended it."

"I got this mouthpiece for my son, and it's been a game changer. His sound is richer and more precise, making it easier for him to play. He's loving it, and it feels rewarding to see him progress with new equipment. His music teacher will surely notice the improvement!"

"As an adult beginner, I relied on recommendations for this mouthpiece. It has worked incredibly well for me, especially when trying to hit those lower notes on my sax. The value is outstanding, and I appreciate the quality of this product!"

"I chose this mouthpiece based on reviews, and I'm thrilled with my decision. Using it with my Yamaha YAS-62 pro alto, I enjoy warm, strong tones and significantly improved playability compared to my previous mouthpieces. The clear tones on high notes are especially impressive, making it easier to play across the entire range. This is one of the best music-related purchases I've made!"

"After my son cracked his mouthpiece, we opted for this one on his band teacher's recommendation. The sound quality it produces is truly remarkable! Even as someone who doesn't play saxophone, I can hear how much fuller his notes are now, and he no longer squeaks. It's a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to enhance their sound!"

"I recently purchased the Vandoren AL3 mouthpiece for classical pieces and compared it with others like the Selmer S80 and Soloist C*. I found the control and intonation to be superior with the AL3, and the sound is exceptionally warm and rounded. While it might not be ideal for jazz, it's perfect for anyone who enjoys classical music."

“As a music instructor, this was perfect to mirror my tenor sax student. I'm very happy with this product.”

“The mouthpiece worked well, but the ligature arrived scraped and scratched. After some adjustments, it held the reed, but it wasn't ready to use straight out of the box. Otherwise, it's a pretty good mouthpiece.”

“I found this mouthpiece to be of cheap construction and low quality. However, it served my purpose of checking the fit on a vintage C-Melody sax. I recommend spending a bit more for a recognized brand like Yamaha.”

"I got this mouthpiece for my son based on his private lesson teacher and the band director's suggestion. After two years of playing sax, he was trying out for a competitive Jazz Band, and they recommended this mouthpiece to improve his tone and playability. He tried it once and loved it! It's been six months, and he still enjoys it, even making both the competitive jazz band and the top concert band at his middle school. The mouthpiece shows no signs of wear, and I'm really happy with this purchase."

"As a freshman in college studying music, I've used the same mouthpiece since fifth grade—the one that came with my saxophone. A professional friend let me try his mouthpiece, and I fell in love with it! It's a bit on the expensive side, but I have never felt so confident in my sound. The tone is clear, and I have so much control over the volume. It's perfect for both classical and jazz, and I highly recommend it!"

"I rented a Jupiter sax for my son, who was 9 at the time. He got frustrated because he couldn't produce decent notes. After replacing the original mouthpiece with the Selmer S-80 C, his tone improved immediately, and his excitement for playing returned. Two years later, he's quite skilled and even got accepted by U.C's CCM junior wind ensemble. We upgraded his sax to a Yamaha YAS-480, which sounds great with its Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, but with the Selmer S-80 C, it sounds truly amazing!"

"This product is well constructed and works great for beginners. I find it provides a comfortable fit and produces a nice sound. Although the cover is a bit large and the mouthpiece with ligature slides around, it's effective nonetheless. I particularly appreciate the ligature’s rubber ridged reed holder; it prevents the reed from coming loose."

"I bought this for my daughter, and it’s a perfect fit. She can play her saxophone without any issues."

"After trying this mouthpiece, I found that it might be okay for students, but the ligature was quite disappointing. It wouldn’t stay in place and struggled to hold the reed properly. From my perspective, the ligature's design could use improvement, as it didn't work for me at all."

"I purchased a second one to never be without it. The quality and sound are excellent, rivaling more expensive mouthpieces."

"I find this mouthpiece to be very good; its quality and response are on par with pricier brands."

"My grandson picked this mouthpiece because he liked its appearance, and it works great for him!"

"I love the high quality materials used in this product. It feels sturdy and well-made!"

"The durable design really impressed me; it withstands daily use without any signs of wear."

"Using this product is a breeze, thanks to its ease of use. I highly recommend it!"
