Looking bright tenor mpc

[Gandar]

I have Yamaha YTS-62 (serial 00141X) tenor saxophone with short shank Selmer Soloist E - and some Meyer 9 -mouthpieces. I mostly use Soloist, because I can get all sounds easily with it and it is great for rock and jazz. Haven't used Meyer so much.

Anyway, I'm having some amount of money after my summer jobs, and I'm thinking of buying new mouthpiece. OR I will save it to get new soprano, anyways, I'm looking mpc more suitable for classic music, with very bright sound, Soloist is quite "stuffy" for that. Any suggestions?

And what I should look, what material, what tip, what model etc?

[Gandar]

Oh, and I have no idea what ligatures I own/use.

[Eulipion2]

I'm assuming you mean classical/traditional (not jazz, pop, rock) music. For that you'd need a darker sound. Try Caravan, Rascher, Selmer S-80, Larry Teal, and Rousseau for starters.

[Gandar]

Agh, okay, not for classical, anyway, I'm looking bright mpc, not dark, Soloist is dark enough for me.

Oh, and both of my mpcs' are hard rubber.

:lol: I just got an Lasax metal mouthpiece #8 from woodwind and brasswind. I have one for alto and tenor and love it. Their pretty bright, similar to a dukoff, even better they're haveing a closout and i got it for 90 bucks....the alto is 70.....They're finished in a bright double plated silver mirror finish....definetely something i would check out....i love those pieces. :Shocked: :dazed:

Try a Runyon Custom with a spoiler.

Try a rovner deep v metal with the high baffle and the rovner eddie daniels lig.

[Gandar]

Btw, how does tip opening affect the sound?

[Tower of Power]

Yes, Larger tip means the reed can vibrate more. If you jump up .10 and get a smaller reed it will take close to the same ammount of air but the sound wont be the same.

Guardala Studio is also a nice choice, use with Selmer (alto) ligature.

SR TECH (Fusion) is very good too.

no one said dukoff? ill say it .dukoff. or you might like jumbo javas in hard rubber but sound a little bit like a dukoff.
