Interesting alternative to a Meyer
TonyOr 06.05.2023
I bought this as a potential upgrade to a Meyer 5M, which I have had for years. I like the Meyer, which has a full, rich sounding low end and mid-range, but it does tend to sound thinner, brighter and a bit harsh in the upper register. I saw a comparison demo of the Meyer and a D'Addario on the Saxophone Academy YouTube channel which caught my attention and prompted me to try the D'Addario. I suggest you check it out before buying as it exactly reflects my experience having bought one.

The D'Addario is definitely a mouthpiece in the Meyer style and sounds quite similar, but it is much more consistent across the range of the instrument. The D'Addario is not so full and rich on the low notes as the Meyer, but it has a good solid sound and maintains it through the range of the instrument up to the highest notes. It does not become thin or harsh sounding in the higher register.

The mouthpiece seems to be very well made and accurately machined, as you would expect from a CNC made mouthpiece. It is a little more resistant than the Meyer, but not much. I bought a 6 and had no problem blowing it.

So, I would say that the Meyer and the D'Addario are both good mouthpieces, but they are different. I like them both for their particular characteristics.

Sehr gutes Mundstück

Sehr gute Ansprache, schöner Sound.
Letzterer wird manchen Kolleginnen und Kollegen zu dunkel sein, aber mir gefällt er.
Anfangs hatte ich etwas Probleme wegen der für mich fast zu großen Bahnöffnung. Aber ein D5M wäre wiederum zu eng gewesen.
Musste also ein bisschen am Ansatz arbeiten (üben !!!). Aber es hat sich gelohnt.

Das Mundstück kommt im Bereich Ansprache nicht ganz an die alten Vorbilder heran, nach denen es designt wurde (Meyer-Mundstücke aus den 1950ern), klingt aber rein vom Sound schon sehr danach! Der im Vergleich zu einem guten Vintage-Meyer etwas größere Blaswiderstand wirkt sich positiv auf den Sound aus, wenn man als Spieler per Atmung und Stütze darauf entsprechend reagieren kann.
Passt vom Design her zu fast allen Altos auf dem Markt, das Mundstück ist von daher auf jeden Fall einen Test wert!
