Good quality control at a great price - the standard beginner/student mouthpiece
Yamaha 4C mouthpieces are the "industry standard" for beginner/student mouthpieces for two very good reasons: quality and price. Quality: they are uniformly good quality. A lot of the mouthpieces under $100 are mass-produced in China under virtually no quality control processes (or so it seems). You can get a good one, or you can just as easily get one where the table is uneven so the reed won't create a proper seal, making the mouthpiece literally unplayable. In that instance, you have to either return the product and hope the replacement is better, or you have to get out your sandpaper and try to fix it yourself, voiding any warranty in the process. Yamaha mouthpieces do not have this problem. Like Yamaha's instruments, the mouthpieces have a reputation for consistent quality, unit after unit after unit, even if the items are manufactured in China, due to Yamaha's insistence on quality control. Price: somehow these mouthpieces remain extremely affordable, which -- coupled with the confidence you can have in their quality -- makes them a tremendous value. Are there better mouthpieces? Yes, for more advanced players, the Selmer C*, for example, gives an intermediate player more flexibility in terms of volume and tone, and it even (I am told by a subject matter expert) will help hide flaws like breathiness or wavering tone in a less-skilled player. But it also retails for around $175 -- that's SEVEN TIMES the cost of the Yamaha. And given that there's a likelihood a player ready to appreciate the difference between the Yamaha and Selmer is also probably looking to move out of a 4C and explore larger chambers, etc., it makes the Yamaha a great first choice. This mouthpiece that should also last the player's entire life, even if they start adding more mouthpieces to their collection to have different tonal options. TL;DR? Buy it with confidence. It's a consistent, functional mouthpiece that sets the standard for beginner/student models, and when the player is ready to move up, the low price means they can do so without regret.Read full review

Great mouthpiece, beginner standard
Got this mouthpiece for a student, she's doing great with it, and it's pretty much perfect for a beginning player starting out. Yamaha has consistent quality, and their products are uniformly solid performers. Also, FYI the 4c has a slightly smaller tip opening which works well for younger embouchures.

Serviceable
As a returning player , I appreciate the friendly ease and comfort of playability of this Yamaha 4C . Not a Berg Larsen capable of blowing down the walls but is a versatile mouthpiece that will grow along with anyone willing to practice and enjoy the journey .
