A Meyer is a Meyer (What's in a Name?) - The elusive "real" Alto Sax Meyer sound

[@AnonymousBN]

Awesome video, thanks! After watching your videos for a while I can look at my mouthpieces differently. Really cool.

[@Craig2760]

I found a NY Meyer clarinet mouthpiece in a case with an old Leblanc student instrument. I plays incredibly well.

[@kevindeibert3369]

I've played some different alto pieces over the years: Claude Lakey, Gregory, Runyon Spoiler, Meyer. Finally settled on a Wolfe Tayne 7 (h.b.) for about 35 years ! Recently I've been playing a Vandoren AS 5 + and so far so good. !

I have a cheap Chinese saxophone from Amazon ( Eastar) but I use a Meyer 6 and I love it. I bought a pro tech neck strap and a used hard case from Facebook. Market place. Having fun over here in Anaheim. Im looking to join a mariachi banda.

I have Meyer medium chamber 5 for tenor New York vintage the best !

[@weedguys2384]

I only do Meyer since 1979. Why switch? It's simply the best.

I am a beginner and use Yamaha 4C. It sounds very flat commercial, and soulless compared to a Meyer. I want to use a Meyer mouthpiece to develop my skills on an alto sax because they truly have beautiful "tone" that is neither on the bright nor on the dark side, and combines a colorful spectrum of the melody from the youtube videos I've watched. What do you really recommend to a beginner if he/she wants to stick with a Meyer brand? Very informative video. Thank you.

If you want to stick close to a meyer there's the 100th anniversary which is a little better at it's job than the standard modern (although if you bite even a little you'll get bite marks over time) or if you are able to shell out $350 there's the connoisseur bros which is based off of Cannonball Adderley's mouthpiece

[@seanmullins7009]

I agree the connoisseur is literally head and shoulders above any other Meyer that you can get today i’m a refacer and that mouthpiece was just awesome straight out of the factory and I say was, because this idiot over here dropped it two weeks ago and We all know what happens when you drop a mouthpiece….it lands right on the tip lol I’m gonna superglue it and see what I could do to fix it. but i know it’ll most likely never be the same note to self, stop refacing on concrete Sean lol. play stupid games win stupid prizes lol

[@dolcisax]

quería hacer una consulta, si no es molestia. entiendo que hay meyer bros new york, meyer new york y meyer bros, esto es así? y podrías decirme según tu gusto u opinión personal, de los 3 modelos cual es el mejor, cuál la segunda y cuál la tercera en calidad de boquilla meyere. muchas gracias

[@pbnj4lyfe298]

How does the "medium" bros play? Do you think you can send it to someone and get it to be a great player?

This time I'm thinking upgrading to a new mouthpiece(coming from BD5, playing v12 3.5 reeds). I have to mention I'm not able to try in a store cause of Covid situation and I'm between getting to a Selmer Concept or a Backun Vocalise G or continue with same design(BD4 or BD7). Maybe other BD openings are better?? What would you recommend? I'm not satisfied with the articulation of BD5, It has a pretty beautiful dark legato and that's It, all other things are kinda difficult to make. I have one whole year playing It and I think It's time to change to something else..

[@DaleFedele]

Okay, I promise tomorrow I'm ordering the Selmer Focus as well as a Vocalise G. Apparently the new BD series are CNC machined and a LOT of people aren't liking them since mid-2020. I will link you to a Clarinet Bboard article about this...

[@jimis3167]

@@DaleFedele Ok! I'll be waiting for this! You'll also review the Selmer Concept?

[@beneditolopesdossantos5689]

Gostaria de saber o preço da boquilha Meyer n6 ou n7 em real ou dólar.

[@beneditolopesdossantos5689]

Por favor traduzir em português. Nós estamos com interesse em comprar mais fica difícil assim.

[@jimis3167]

What's your opinion on Selmer focus and Concept mouthpieces on Bb clarinet? Did you ever try them?
