Quiet ballads are my thing.Wow! I wouldn’t know what to add but nice answers. That’s impressive.
I’m considering using one sax as a practice instrument and getting it repadded without reflectors, using the quietest mouthpiece I can find, so that I can practice at antisocial hours.
I can play my tenor setup at whisper with my sleeping cat beside me so there's no need to repad. (I practice loudly in a wir btw).I’m considering using one sax as a practice instrument and getting it repadded without reflectors, using the quietest mouthpiece I can find, so that I can practice at antisocial hours.

Yes, indeed.I can play my tenor setup at whisper with my sleeping cat beside me so there's no need to repad. (I practice loudly in a wir btw).
The reflectors won't make that much difference.
We know that. the question is which mouthpiece plays quietly well.Playing quietly is an acquired skill. The right set up will whisper and shout.
Any relatively closed classical mouthpiece but practicing on such exclusively may be detrimental to your embouchure development for an open piece.We can all play quietly. Any mouthpiece can do it. But some are built to be quieter and hence can take a bit more welly without getting loud. I need to know which are they.
