If we are going to get into the subject of saxophone mouthpieces, let me
mention a few. For starters, the Meyer 5MM is a great choice for playing in
any type of commercial setting. The older the better. Easy to play. Also try
a rubber Beechler or a rubbber Berg Larsen. But the Meyer out shines them all
