  ‘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.

  * GS NEW YORK Alto Mouthpiece Meyer Bros NY Replica

  Rated 5.00 out of 5
  $ 199

  Introducing the GS NEW YORK alto mouthpiece! This is an extremely precise copy of my favorite Meyer Bros New York alto piece from my collection of New York Meyer mouthpieces.

  A great New York Meyer just sparkles. The response is clean, warm, and effortlessly free blowing, but centered and with an elusive extra magic to it – even compared to any other version of Meyer.

  What you get: The Best Meyer Ever

  If you’re not a vintage mouthpiece geek, you probably didn’t know that there are three different mouthpieces that are stamped Meyer Bros New York (not incuding the Tru-Flex or the NYUSA). The first is a rather stubby, fat bodied one. Then this one that the GS NEW YORK copies, with NEW YORK on the same side as MeYeR and ‘medium chamber’ in small font on the table side. The last version has a fatter body again, and has MEDIUM on the same side as MeYeR and NEW YORK on the table side. The following photo makes this clear.

  

  Some folks prefer the third version. I prefer the second, though we may offer the third version as a GS mouthpiece someday as well. The one we copied has just the right balance of warmth and projection to stand out as the one, holy grail, best-ever (in my opinion anyway) do-it-all alto mouthpiece that you need. There are lots of other great alto mouthpieces on the market, but to my knowledge nobody has actually successfully produced an exact copy of a Meyer Bros NY like this before, until now.

  These also all get hand faced by me. That’s the main slow step in getting them to you, but I’m facing them as fast as I can while keeping the facing work perfect. The hand facing is a step that you can’t skip. If you try to make a replica mouthpiece and you don’t replicate a really excellent facing, you might as well not bother. So you get my favorite 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 facing that I’ve played so far, on whichever tip mouthpiece you request. Tips are as follows: 4= .069″   5= .072″   6= .076″   7= .080″ 8= .085″.

  The baffle on each tip opening is placed just where Meyer would place it relative to the tip rail and chamber, so each one is a really good copy of the appropriate tip of Meyer Bros. One big advantage we have is that we make these entirely in house, so we can keep improving them until they are perfect. By using biocompatible dental resin and 3D printing for the complex, organic chamber and baffle shapes, we can keep improving and iterating the model until each one is perfect. We spend a LOT of time and effort on that, and I hope that it shows in the quality of mouthpiece and the playing experience that you get.

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

  $ 165

  For hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpieces like Meyer Bros, GS New York, 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 Meyer Hard Rubber Brilhart Reproduction 3-Band Ligature Saxophone Selmer Vandoren

  $ 165

  This ligature fits almost all hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpieces, like Meyer Bros, GS New York, 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.

  Brilhart Streamline 5 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece MPC400

  $ 350

  This mouthpiece is SOLD, but to find mouthpieces in stock, please go to the following link: https://www.getasax.com/mouthpieces/

   

  Beautiful almost new example of a rare Streamline Brilhart Ebolin alto mouthpiece. Stamped 3*, it measures like a Meyer 5 tip at .074″ on the original facing. This is often the case with Brilharts, where you only know the tip by measuring.

  This mouthpiece plays great with a beautiful warmth and fullness that also does not lack projection. Brilharts like this are among my favorite vintage alto mouthpieces (along with Meyer and MC Gregory).

  If you happen to want the rare and collectible original Brilhart BB screws streamline alto ligature and cap, I have one in my collection that fits this mouthpiece that I would be open to selling.

  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.

  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.

  Straight sidewalls pinch an otherwise large chamber, no baffle. Side rails taper to almost nothing at the tips. 0.064″ tip opening. This is a nicely made, legit (classical) style alto mouthpiece. High quality throughout. It represents a a good value for an alto mouthpiece for lessons, concert band, wind ensemble, quartet, and generally classical alto playing.

  Pending sale 1/28/22

  Beautiful Meyer Bros NY Alto that I got cleaned up by Brian Powell years ago. It has a great facing and measures a .078, so a 6 tip, almost a 7. Easy reponse, great projection and warmth. Nothing like a Meyer Bros New York!

  Meyer Bros NY 4M Medium Chamber Alto Awesome! MPC1058

  $ 2,250

  This is a super clean, original box example of one of my favorite mouthpieces ever – a New York Meyer Bros Alto Medium chamber. I love the 4 tip in a Meyer Bros. It has a beautiful balance between warm and bright, with the baffle done just perfectly. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer example. It measures an original .069″ and feels really nice to play.

  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 Slant NY Eburnated Bar 4* Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece MPC382

  $ 350

  This very old and a little worn but the bite plate and rails are very nice. It has a rollover baffle, curved sidewalls and large chamber. The tip opening measures 0.076″. This was opened up to a 6 tip by someone good. The table is flat and the tip and rails are beautiful. If you want something basically dark and warm, easy to play, and that takes air well, has easy response etc., then this is the piece for you. It’s hard to find something at all similar among new mouthpieces made today. Has a couple of tiny dings in the tip rail that do not affect anything.

  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 C** Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Vintage Scroll Metal Silver MPC956

  $ 300

  This is a vintage Selmer scroll shank silver plated alto mouthpiece in quite good condition. The chamber is medium and round, to tune well on Selmer saxophones, and the mouthpiece sounds something like the Larry Teal hard rubber Selmer scroll shank, but with a little extra focus and projection from being a metal mouthpiece. It’s not super bright, but more warm, round, focused, and a little louder than its hard rubber counterpart. Tip is a C**, so fairly closed – about .070

  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.

  Selmer Soloist Style Long Shank C* Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece E11

  $ 225

  This is a Selmer Soloist Style Long Shank C*. These mouthpieces look identical to the Soloists but they do not have soloist engraved on the table and are therefore called Soloist style. These mouthpieces also have less of a rollover baffle than the soloist. This piece has a .068 tip opening, a slight rollover baffle, a horse shoe chamber, and straight side walls. The piece has a few scratches and is a bit discolored, but no playability issues.
