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

唔好意思,因為我之前唔能夠打中文,我啲英文右係有限公司,
所以只能是但打啲問下囉,
其實呢啲我都知,只不過我唔係吹tenor 架,我係幫朋友問,
同埋想知道大家ga意見,因為可以參考下呀嗎,
敢有無人聽過呢個Beechler ga牌子呢?
