A: There is no “right” answer. While the guy above did recommend Selmer, which is a dependable brand, it may not be what you want. I would recommend that you go and try as many mouthpieces until you find one that gives you the tone that YOU want. That would also be something to consider, is what tone are you aiming for? I personally don’t care for selmer because I never get the tone I want. Go try mouthpieces to find one that you like.

Also, the reed is made to match the facing of the mouthpiece (space between the reed tip and mouthpiece tip). A soft reed is for a larger facing, and a hard reed is for a smaller facing. A hard reed doesn’t work well in a large facing, and vice versa. Once you choose your mouthpiece, then experiment with reeds to find what strength and brand works for you. Again, this is different for every player, so experiment.

Berg Larsen Mouthpiece?

Q: Well, I recently came across a mouthpiece that my grandma gave to me after her father died. He was an extremely experienced saxophone player, and owned at least one of each of the common saxophones… the problem is, she doesn’t know what saxophone this mouthpiece is for, and I can’t figure it out! It doesn’t seem to work too well on the bari (too small), and it’s not working on the alto (just fits weird), but I haven’t really tried it on anything else. Here’s what I know about it:

A: I looked it up and it appears the Berg Larson 85 is an Alto Sax mouthpiece. MORE INFO: Actually, there is also a Tenor 85. So if it doesn’t fit the Alto and it’s too small for the bari, maybe it’s a tenor. It’s really hard to tell without seeing the mouthpiece.
