Hello all, I know this is non-clarinet, and I've searched the archives. Just want some quick info if you don't mind.
Who still makes mouthpiece for C melody sax?
Thanks.
Willy

Thanks, just to make sure, C melody’s range lies an octave below that of C soprano clarinet, correct? So if you play violin’s music with the C melody, you sound an octave lower than written?

That's right - it sounds an octave lower than written (in treble clef), eg. tenor voice, bass flute, bass oboe and heckelphone are the same pitch as a C Melody sax.
Windcraft do a cheap plastic C Melody mouthpiece as well.

For what it's worth, my silver-plated 1922 King C-melody sax plays very well in tune with any modern tenor sax mouthpiece (as Dave Barry likes to write, "I'm not making this up"). Check the C-Melody section of the SaxOnTheWeb forum, there have been recent discussions on this topic.

My Lawton tenor mouthpieces work well on my old Wurlitzer C Melody (with no front F) - probably the 7*B rather than the 6*BBS which is a bit fierce.
