I’m playing an Allora curvy sop. Stock mouthpiece very closed tip, every note WAY out of tune.The Yamaha 6C is a great way to learn how to play soprano. Every note perfectly in tune. Keeping your bottom lip out is the best thing to play in tune and get a better tone from your horn. I really like the sound of the Yamaha mouthpiece. The tip opening on the 6C is not too open IMHO to start with. It’s very easy to control and still considered a small tip opening. The 4C is really a small tip. Get the 6C if you’re not sure. The mouthpiece is a great piece and will teach you how to play in tune with a beautiful sound very quickly. When I’m ready to upgrade my skills and purchase a better mouthpiece, I’ll know what direction to go because the Yamaha is so good.
Better than the mouthpiece that came with the sax.
A step up from the student mouthpiece. 0.053 tip opening. Good value. Plays well. Sounds great. Would recommend for advanced student or intermediate player.
