Hi Holly,

You've asked a question that's exceptionally common! Haha, my advice is, to choose a mouthpiece (be it metal/ebonite) as if you're choosing a condom (if you're a man) or a bra (if you're a lady)! I'm not joking. There're a number of different factors determining your best suited mpc :

1. Brand - as what U've asked (I use Yanagisawa metal mpc)
2. Size (usually meaning the tip opening) - the larger the more edgy it sounds and the more suitable for rock
3. Your breathing control and embouchre - different individuals produces diff.sound on the same sax/mpc!
4. Your choice on reeds
5. Your saxophone model
6. Your target style of music - do you play classical or jazz or rock, which subtype?

You've got to bring with your instrument and reeds to test which metal mpc would produce the perfect match for your "dream sound". Don't buy one without your personal experience.

Hope you would find out your beloved combinations.

Steve
