Today I reached nirvana in my quest to find an affordable backup tenor mouthpiece. I have played a few metal mcps in the past. Not loads, but a few. I have never spent time on composite or HR mouthpieces on my tenor. My main mcp is a Lawton 8*B and after 18 months playing and possibly fighting with a Guardala MBII, I have now have a Rico Metalite M9 tenor piece with a Rovner R2 ligature as a backup to the Lawton. It is almost as good as the Lawton with the exception of low subtones. The mcp cost £24 on Amazon. Go figure!
On soprano a Rico Metalite M7 has replaced my Yani metal M8 as my main mouthpiece. It has truly transformed the sop in tuning, intonation and articulation. £27. I am also about to receive a Bari Esprit soprano mouthpiece at £14 which I have read very good reports about. If it's better than the Metalite M7, then I can only say........WOW!
Rico Metalite for tenor and soprano. Just amazing!
