Yamaha Custom Series saxophone mouthpieces are sculpted out of choice ebonite, a high-quality hard rubber which offers a deep resonance and tonal qualities similar to those of natural wood. Every step of the production, from the initial shaping of the mouthpiece ‘blank’ to the final hand crafting of the facing, is done by Yamaha’s experienced artisans for complete control ensuring consistent high quality.
Yamaha has spent years working together with many of the world’s greatest musicians, studying their mouthpieces and discovering ways to improve them. The Custom Series incorporates this experience in the design and manufacture of every mouthpiece in the series.
The Custom Series mouthpieces are characterised by a warm rich tone with exceptional clarity. Their accurate intonation and comfortable playability have made them popular with many leading artists.
They also are available in a variety of sizes, to suit the needs of players of many different styles.
The 4C makes is easy to obtain a balanced, clear, and focused tone in any octave.
The 5C has a bigger tip opening that allows the player, whilst still being able to control the sound, a broader tonal quality.
The 6C is a mouthpiece that is for the advanced to professional player, someone who has built a strong embouchure, enabling the player a rich, broad, wide tone with big projection.
