Questions about product
Question by Adler on 31.01.2025
The difference between alto saxophone mouthpiece 4c and tenor saxophone 4c is the length of the mouthpiece because the passage is 1.7mm but identical. Each mouthpiece may also have its own reed in terms of thickness or quality.
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
Yes, the main difference between the Yamaha 4C mouthpiece for alto and tenor saxophone lies in the size and shape of the mouthpiece itself. While the orifice (1.7 mm) is identical on both, there are significant differences:
Length and volume:
- The alto saxophone mouthpiece is smaller and shorter overall, as the alto saxophone itself has a higher tuning (E flat tuning).
- The tenor saxophone mouthpiece is larger and longer to support the lower tuning of the tenor saxophone (Bb tuning).
Inner chamber and bore:
- The mouthpiece for the tenor saxophone has a larger chamber and a wider bore to accommodate the deeper sound.
- The alto saxophone mouthpiece has a smaller chamber that is optimized for the instrument's higher pitch range.
Reeds:
- Each mouthpiece requires a specific reed for its instrument. An alto saxophone reed does not fit on a tenor saxophone mouthpiece as it is too small.
- The thickness of the reed affects the playing style and sound, but each saxophone mouthpiece is tailored to reeds that are specifically made for its size.
To summarize: While the Yamaha 4C mouthpieces for alto and tenor saxophone have the same orifice, they differ in size, chamber design and the use of appropriate reeds for each saxophone.
