BRANCHER Soprano Sax Mouthpieces
Brancher produces some of the best machined mouthpieces seen today. He has earned the respect of serious pro players around the world. 3 chambers are offered:

B Chamber: This is for players looking for a bright powerful crisp sound with tons of projection and harmonic punch. These mouthpieces feature a multi stepped baffle which starts out close to the reed and transitions away in a carefully machined ramp and steps to a moderate chamber. This is the brightest mouthpiece we sell for soprano. Black Silver-plated. Note: Photo depicts semi-rigid ligature not the gold plated ligature now supplied.

Yanagisawa Silver-Plated Metal Soprano Sax Mouthpiece
(with silver-plated ligature and cap)
Soprano mouthpieces can make the difference between being able to play the soprano sax and not. The Yanagisawa silver-plated mouthpiece lets the player hit every note in the range from Bb to high G with ease.  It has a 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.

Selmer (Paris) SUPER SESSION Soprano Sax Mouthpiece
This high quality hard rubber mouthpiece is a new model with the large round chamber of a vintage Meyer but it is much better made than modern Meyer pieces. This design creates a warmer, fuller sound than the S-80.
