DAddario Woodwinds Alto Sax Select Jazz 5M

This product is well designed and very well manufactured. It seemed to play best with a Vandoren MO ligature and Forestone Hinoki MS reed, or the Rico Jazz select. It responds very well and produced a big colourful tone with excellent technical quality. It is serial numbered, a further sign of quality control. The oversized box its sold in is poor and risks damaging the facing. They wasted money on the lavish box art to. Although its a shorter mouthpiece there were no tuning issues or trouble making a consistent tone from the lowest to highest notes. Being honest I was not totally impressed on the first playing but got used to it and enjoyed using it for 2 years. Unlike some other brands it did not change colour and stink of sulphur nor seem to play worse. This is a good reliable product made from decent materials. I cannot think of a meyer or link I've tried that was as good as this ever. You can find many playing reviews on YouTube of happy owners playing jazz and big band, not one negative comment. My son used this mouthpiece aged 10 to learn alto in preference to a Vandoren Optimum (a very easy mouthpiece to control).
