Rico Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece (RRGMPCASXA7)

Like: Love the tone, emphasized 2000 Hz spectrum make it sound clear and cutting. A and B mouthpieces have more 500 and 1000 Hz spectrum ehancement which sounds more honky and not really my taste Dislike: The facing length is too less, thus your bite lies close to the tip - can't take most of the mouthpiece in. But perhaps that makes it easier to blow and produce sound

Me vino la boquilla Rico Graftonite A7 defectuosa, no funcionaba correctamente, preferí comprar la Yamaha 4C y sin ningún problema. Además cuando compre la boquilla A7 de Rico estaba a 34 euros y la rebajaron a 22, preferí gastar más e ir a por algo seguro y con mejor control de calidad.

Rico Graftonite mouthpieces are quite well regarded, despite being really cheap (do some googling), and I've found them to be very good. I have soprano and alto Graftonites, and I like the wider opening ones better. The A7 has quite a wide opening, but that makes it more interesting to play, and I find I can get the low notes more easily than with a narrower opening. It plays well with a Fibracell 2 or 2.5 reed. The 2.5 reed reaches the palm key notes more easily than the 2. A wide opening needs a fairly soft reed, so you probably wouldn't want more than about a number 3 reed. The other ones to consider are the Rico Metallites, which are also supposed to be good. I haven't tried those because they're supposed to be quite loud, and I need to be able to practice fairly quietly. I've found I can play surprisingly softly with the A7 Graftonite, but plenty loud enough when I want to. My other main alto mouthpiece is a Yamaha 4CM, which is a lot more expensive. I prefer this one. The 4CM has a much narrower opening, which arguably makes it easier to play in tune, and can take a harder reed, but it's harder to play low, and much harder to bend notes or do scoops with.

I love this mouthpiece.Its very comfortable to play and produces a wonderful sound and the mouthpiece is very affordable.

Just started playing alto sax it has help me with better sound. For the price I paid it was good for me
