I recently tried Amati mouhtpieces that came with an
alto sax and a bass clarinet and they were some of the
worst I've ever tried. Not just bad but barely
playable. For the alto sax a cheap Yamaha mouthpiece
(and probably any other decent student mouthpiece) was
a huge improvement. Amati mouthpiece for soprano
clarinet I've tried wasn't as bad but still much worse
comapring with Yamaha or other student mouthpieces
like Fobes or Hite.
