 Re: Clarinet to Tenor Sax Mouthpiece Comparison
Author: Merlin_Williams

Trying to find a tenor sax mouthpiece that matched your clarinet mouthpiece tip opening would be disastrous.

The tip opening ranges typically used by tenor players range from about .068" to upwards of .120". The sweet spot for doubling/jazz/commercial playing is typically between .085" and .105".

The Hite Debut is a good all round piece, as is the Vandoren T35.

Personally, I use a Vandoren V16 T7 for most of my show and jazz tenor playing, but I keep a couple of smaller tip opening/larger chamber pieces around for concert band and classical playing.
