Yamaha 4C Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece, Standard Series | Beginner-Friendly Tone

• Yamaha's official original-equipment 4C alto sax mouthpiece, identical to what's included with new Yamaha standard, intermediate and professional series alto saxophones.
• The 4C size was designed by Yamaha so that even a beginner can make a terrific sound.
• Made from safe and durable phenol resin plastic.
• State of the art manufacturing produces an extremely high quality and consistent mouthpiece
• Fits any brand of standard alto saxophone.

• Attach Reed — Moisten the flat side of a suitable alto saxophone reed (strength 2.0-2.5 recommended for beginners). Place the reed flat against the mouthpiece table, ensuring the tip of the reed is slightly above the tip of the mouthpiece.
• Secure with Ligature — Slide the ligature over the mouthpiece and reed. Position it so it holds the reed firmly but not too tightly, typically about 1-2mm from the tip of the mouthpiece. Tighten the ligature screws gently.
• Mount on Saxophone — Carefully place the mouthpiece and reed assembly onto the neck cork of your alto saxophone. Use cork grease if needed to ensure a snug, airtight fit. Adjust the mouthpiece angle for comfortable embouchure.
