Even a small change in the mouthpiece will make large changes in how the instrument needs to be played (Tip: Don't change mouthpieces the night before a performance - allow at least a few weeks to become accustomed to the new mouthpiece).   The Rico Royal mouthpieces come in a variety of tone chamber styles and facings. If you don't know which one to get, try the B5.   Tone Chamber Style (A, B, or C): The tone chamber of a mouthpiece is the inside area of the mouthpiece. The size and shape of the tone chamber will change the tone quality of the instrument. With the Rico Royal mouthpieces, an "A" tone chamber will give a dark sound which is best suited for concert work, a "B" tone chamber will give a little more brilliance (better for using with most bands), and a "C" tone chamber will give a lot more brilliance and edge which is great for rock and jazz bands.   Facing (3, 5, or 7): The facing is determined by the distance from the tip of the reed to where it first touches the mouthpiece. The bigger the facing number, the farther back the reed goes before actually touching the mouthpiece. Changing the facing of the mouthpiece will generally change the volume of the instrument. With a shorter facing (3), less of the reed is vibrating, so the instrument will tend to be quieter, with a longer facing (7), more of the reed is vibrating, so the instrument will tend to be louder.   In general, we recommend the B5 for most situations. If you are looking for a little edgier sound try the C5, and if you are looking for a darker sound (primarily for classical style music) try the A5. We typically don't suggest the other facings without the recommendation of a band director or private instructor.   Mouthpieces are not returnable.  Product Format: Piano/Vocal/Guitar How to purchase this item: To purchase "Rico Royal Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece - Graftonite", just click on the "Click to Buy!" button above.
