  ‘Meyer Bros.’ New York Model Alto Mouthpiece by Ted Klum – the Best!

  $ 499

  This is an exceptional alto saxophone mouthpiece. It does literally anything you want it to, from lead alto, to ballads, to section work, to pit and concert band. It is what I play, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Every single person who has bought one has emailed back or called me with rave reviews. I don’t normally make these kinds of pronouncements about mouthpieces, but until you play one of Ted Klum’s facings, it is possible that you don’t yet know how easy it should be to play saxophone. The response is instant; subtone is effortless; altissimo is right there and easy. The tone is just gorgeous – it’s based on the type of Meyer Bros that Cannonball Adderley played, and it really does lean in that full-throated, warm, lyrical direction that you think of with Cannonball. Phil Woods’ tone is another reference point for alto players, and he also played a NY Meyer like this is based on. The big reasons to buy this instead of hunting for a NY Meyer are price and consistency. Meyer Bros NY alto mouthpieces now sell 2-5x the price of this piece. And out of 5 original facing Meyer Bros pieces, you might get 2-3 good ones. Every single one of Ted’s New York Models is consistently great.

  You can get this version with the silver shank band included, or you can get it without the silver band. The band is an aesthetic nod to Cannonball Adderley, whose Meyer Bros had a similar one, and it is also protects the shank from cracking over the years or from a too-large neck cork. It is dry-fit with a ring sizing machine, so you can take it off or put it on without any adhesive. If you have any questions about these mouthpieces, feel free to contact me.

  ‘Meyer Bros.’ New York Model Alto Mouthpiece by Ted Klum – the Best! (No Shank Band)

  $ 449

  This is an exceptional alto saxophone mouthpiece. It does literally anything you want it to, from lead alto, to ballads, to section work, to pit and concert band. It is what I play, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Every single person who has bought one has emailed back or called me with rave reviews. I don’t normally make these kinds of pronouncements about mouthpieces, but until you play one of Ted Klum’s facings, it is possible that you don’t yet know how easy it should be to play saxophone. Ted Klum is one of the most highly-skilled and artistic mouthpiece makers in the world, and his work is just about the best that there ever has been. It would be wise to get one of Ted’s mouthpieces before he retires and they suddenly jump up in value.

  How does it play? The response is instant; subtone is effortless; altissimo is right there and easy. The tone is just gorgeous – it’s based on the type of Meyer Bros that Cannonball Adderley played, and it really does lean in that full-throated, warm, lyrical direction that you think of with Cannonball.

  Alto Hard Rubber BB Screws Brilhart Reproduction 3-Band Ligature Saxophone Mouthpieces Meyer Selmer Vandoren

  $ 165

  For hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpieces like Meyer Bros, Selmer Soloist, Vandoren Jumbo Java and all Brilharts. This ligature is a true reproduction of the Brilhart 3-Band Ligature: from the alloy of brass to the feel of the screws, it is exactly the same as the vintage Brilhart ligature. Same dimensions, same weight, same feel, same playing response. It’s like going back in time to buy one when they were first made! So for those of you who have always wanted this time-tested style of ligature, but have found them prohibitively expensive, now perhaps getting one is within reach.

  Alto Hard Rubber Brilhart Reproduction 3-Band Ligature Selmer Meyer Saxophone Mouthpieces

  $ 165

  This ligature fits almost all hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpieces, like Meyer Bros, Selmer Soloist, Vandoren Jumbo Java, all brands of Meyer copies, Ted Klum Acoustimax and New York model, all Brilharts etc. There’s a reason why the vintage Brilhart 3-Band ligatures have been singled out by the market (players) as by far the most desirable vintage ligatures. They are great ligatures. But there will never be enough vintage Brilhart ligatures to meet the high demand for this style of ligature. Thankfully, there is now a high-quality, hand made reproduction available to meet this demand. These are made by a small company in South Korea that cares about getting saxophone equipment right. These ligatures get rave reviews by the people who buy them. I don’t want to make huge claims for a ligature, but I will say that people tend to LOVE them. They’re beautiful, simple, and easy to use, and they sound great.

  Buffet HR C2 (5 tip) Classical Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece MPC435

  $ 125

  This vintage Buffet mouthpiece gives you a dark, round, cello-like tone, but it has a tip opening that is not too closed to allow some dynamic range. It’s a good choice for a classical alto player or concert band setting where you don’t want to sound like everybody else who is playing the square Selmer chambers. This gives you a fuller, rounder, wider tone than a Selmer classical piece.

  $ 50

  This very old mouthpiece is in surprisingly good condition. It has an 0.068″ tip opening, a very mild rollover baffle, mostly straight sidewalls, and a medium chamber. Great for legit alto, classical alto etc. Reminds me of the Caravan / Rascher mouthpieces, but less dark.

  Dukoff D5 .084″ (Meyer 8) Super Power Chamber Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece MPC523

  $ 175

  0.084″ tip opening. Small chamber, high baffle, straigh sidewalls. When Mr. Dukoff says super power, he means it. If you want to cut through a rock mix and funk it up you can’t go wrong with this. The chamber is nice and smooth on this example where it transitions into the bore, onlike some other examples of this piece that I have seen.

  Meyer USA 5M Medium Chamber Alto Saxophone MPC489

  $ 225

  A nice example of a “not so vintage” (80’s?) USA Meyer 5. Good hard rubber, nice thin rails. Good projection and a nice bright tone without being too edgy. Tip opening measures 0.072″. A prudent choice if you want a good Meyer on a budget that isn’t expensive like the New York Meyers are.

  Otto Link Tone Edge Florida Straight Sig 8* Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece MPC428

  $ 325

  This is a great Otto Link Florida Tone Edge alto saxophone mouthpiece. This is the same as the USA Slant Signature Florida Otto Link, but with the signature changed to straight across. This was made in FL before the Early Babbitt pieces and has a little more warmth to the sound than the true EB pieces do. It was refaced at some point from an original 5* to an 8* tip, or 0.091″. The tip and rails are in excellent condition. From the markings on the rails and very thin tip rail, it appears most of the work was done near the tip, making for a great projection and a little more edge than stock Link. This works great for lead alto or for cutting through a band, but retains much more warmth than you would get with most other larger tip, projecting alto mouthpieces.
• 

  Otto Link Tone Edge Straight Sig 7 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece MPC526

  $ 220

  0.090″ tip opening is big, but not as challenging as most other alto pieces at this opening. The rollover baffle looks to be hand finished to improve symmetry and form compared to a typical tone edge. There is some resistance to this piece, but it rewards you for the effort with a big fat tone to fill any room.

  Penzel-Mueller New York Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece B14

  $ 99

  This is an interesting old mouthpiece with a medium, semi-round chamber, but with flat side walls and a fair amount of baffle. There are some scratches in the baffle area. It is a pretty good player now, in original condition. It is Meyer-like, but with a bit more of an edge to it. Very good hard rubber in these pieces!

  Selmer Soloist Style C* Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece MPC485

  $ 125

  Selmer Soloist Long shank C* alto saxophone mouthpiece from the later 60’s or 70’s. Tip opening measures a correct 0.065″. This is a nice, balanced all-purpose alto mouthpiece. Maybe you’re buying it for saxophone lessons. Maybe for school concert band. Maybe because you just want a reliable step up alto piece for much less than the retail new price. Not really the best for jazz, but it works well for lots of concert settings. Or completes your set with a Selmer Mark VI from roughly 1965 or later.
