 Alto sax mouthpiece for doublers?
Author: Koo Young Chung

I apologize for asking alto sax mouthpiece question here.

I have a Selmer 80 C* now, but I'm looking for upgrade, if that's possible.

I'm looking for custom made mouthpieces ,so that I can communicate what I'm looking for with the maker.

I play classical style most of times.

I'll appreciate your recommendations.

If it's any use I quite like the Vandoren A28 for classical playing.
All the best,
Chris.

Plenty to choose from - but I'm a big fan of Ed Pillinger here in London:

I use vintage Selmer C** metal "Jazz" alto sax mouthpiece with Forestone reeds for all of my gigs, jazz or (rare) classical.

If you're going to play mainly classical on alto, you don't really need to phrase it as a doubling question. You just need a good mouthpiece that is suitable for playing classical music.

There's no need in my mind for a custom made mouthpiece, as there are so many good classical mouthpieces available for the spectrum of classical saxophone sounds.

I can personally recommend mouthpieces by Vandoren (A20), Selmer (older C* soloist) Hite, Morgan (2C or 3C) Bilger (Gold), Caravan (Med and Large chamber), Rascher and Hawkins (Sinta model).

I play the Sinta model piece most of the time for classical work on alto.
