## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very nice mouthpiece - not just a cheap one
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2013*

Rico Graftonite mouthpieces are quite well regarded, despite being really cheap (do some googling), and I've found them to be very good.  I have soprano and alto Graftonites, and I like the wider opening ones better.The A7 has quite a wide opening, but that makes it more interesting to play, and I find I can get the low notes more easily than with a narrower opening.  It plays well with a Fibracell 2 or 2.5 reed.  The 2.5 reed reaches the palm key notes more easily than the 2.  A wide opening needs a fairly soft reed, so you probably wouldn't want more than about a number 3 reed.The other ones to consider are the Rico Metallites, which are also supposed to be good.  I haven't tried those because they're supposed to be quite loud, and I need to be able to practice fairly quietly.  I've found I can play surprisingly softly with the A7 Graftonite, but plenty loud enough when I want to.My other main alto mouthpiece is a Yamaha 4CM, which is a lot more expensive.  I prefer this one.  The 4CM has a much narrower opening, which arguably makes it easier to play in tune, and can take a harder reed, but it's harder to play low, and much harder to bend notes or do scoops with.
