I got this mouthpiece as I needed one with better projection for marching season. It worked very well for marching season, but for concert season I went back to my main mouthpiece as it worked better. Would recommend for marching band.

La boquilla tiene buen sonido aunque es número 9 y mas difícil de dominar. Lo que me ha decepcionado es que no es de metal como se anuncia y al final no la devuelvo porque en sonido es adecuado.

Très bon bec, à ma grande surprise. A un tel prix j'avais beaucoup de réserves. Je l'ai reçu rapidement, bien emballé, et dès réception j'ai mis une anche Rico Select Jazz et là : le pur bonheur ! Je joue du sax depuis 40 ans, j'ai essayé toutes les marques, je voulais un plafond pas trop relevé avec pas trop d'harmoniques ( enrichi par une anche forte ). Ce bec est juste, puissant, confortable, facile dans les aigus et les subtones, l'attaque est précise. En résumé quelle réussite ! Bravo à Rico, à mes yeux ce bec est le meilleur rapport qualité/prix sur tout le " web-sax " !

This mouthpiece, at this price, really makes you wonder why any one would consider shelling out $300+ for a mouthpiece. While I would concede that such mouthpieces are better (in some ways!) are they 10 TIMES BETTER? This mouthpiece does what a mouthpiece should do: gets the sound I want, the control I want, the intonation I want. I went with an M9 model. I don't have problems with controlling it. (However, I grew up on a Selmer E mouthpiece with 4 (or 5 if I could find them) reeds.) This gives a good chops workout with a 2.5-3 reed - and all the volume you could ever want. Ok, all the volume you could ever want in an acoustic setting. If you need more, get a microphone!

Veramente fantastico come bocchino alternativo. Utilizzo un Berg Larsen metallo e ho voluto prendere il metalite dopo aver letto feedback sulla rete. Che dire, avevo comprato in base all'apertura del mio, il metalite 7, poi mi sono reso conto dopo un pò che mi sembrava un pò chiuso per l'apertura al quale sono abituato. Ho acquistato a "scatola chiusa" anche il 9. Che dire..... Fantastico. La stessa ancia (Rico Royal) da Berg Larsen a questo e il suono è pazzesco.

If you are playing rock or funk, this mouthpiece is more than adequate. I like to peel the paint when playing that genre of music and this fits the bill. I don't think I would use it in a combo or in a big band setting, perhaps the M5 version would suffice. This is great mouthpiece that everyone should have as a backup or as a go to because of its price and the quality of sound it produces. This is not for a by any means.

I am using this as a professional mouthpiece. I have been told by those that hire me they like my sound. My range is two octaves higher than the high Eb. I have tried expensive mouthpieces and they are excellent but since I am not as rich as some people I can't afford $300.00-$700.00 for a mouthpiece and since I have been playing this Rico I have lost all motivation to put the money aside for something that can be lost and is devastatingly hard to recover all because I got use to playing something expensive. Eventually the musician is not just the customer but someone who has to pay dues to get where they are. I follow the k.i.s. method when I practice and get use to the same mouthpiece, and the same horn. It makes things easier for me and my response is quicker because of familiarity.

I mostly try for a Dark Stan-Getz sound, so my principal piece is a re-faced SaxScape Fat Cat with the baffle removed. But when I get called for a blues or fink gig, I pop this sucker on my Buescher Top hat and Cane and scream above the guitars.This is NOT a SUBTLE mouthpiece, but sometimes subtlety is lost. WAY cheaper than a Dukoff, and just as much fun.

Je joue actuellement sur un otto link métal 7*, et je me suis de suite senti aussi à l'aise sur ce Rico. Seul soucis c'est que maintenant il fait double usage avec mon ottolink (qui m'avait couté presque 10x plus cher...).

This mouthpiece works fine for rock/funk/r & b. Edgy and bright, it's also cheap. Use it with a junk horn (like my beater Yamaha 23 tenor) for outdoor, drunken party, and honky tonk gigs. The larger tip opening allows for a softer reed if you want to play low notes as well.
