Yanagisawa Silver-Plated Metal Alto Sax Mouthpiece
(with ligature and cap) The Yanagisawa Metal
mouthpiece is a little brighter without being difficult to blow. It has a more conventional rail length so it blows as you would expect from its tip opening measurement. It is a
silver-plated mouthpiece with a conventional 2-screw ligature. Exceptionally well made and a piece I have played personally.
NOTE: Yanagisawa are now supplying white plastic caps. We will ship silver plated caps for as long as our inventory of these lasts.

relatively long rail curvature which makes it a little easier to blow than its tip opening measurement would suggest. It is superbly made and the optional Optimum ligature is the most effective and easy to use lig
on the market.
