"the Mouthpiece drawer" was one thing which I was determined to not end up with - the first few decades of my Sax career was spent with one horn, two Tenor pieces (the ubiquitous Selmer E and also a wide gap Bari for Rock) . when I changed horn to the Infamous Yam 62 "silver lady" last November (or was it October) , I used a narrow gap (5*) Yani and moved quickly on to the PPT 8* and stuck with that , it`s a bright piece so have a plastic and rather stuffy Keilwerth 8 as well (Bought for a tenner - the stock piece for the SX90) ....... so apart from a weird pretty unplayable rubber thing which JamesMac gave me , no spare tenor pieces as I sold the Yani, its predecessors went with the MkVII..
But Alto - Phew - how does one person end up with so many Yamaha 4Cs ?? . I`ve got at least 3 plus a Bari Esprit-II and the "resonite" stock piece which came with the 14M (I sold the 14M with a 4C) ...... I`d not mind but the 4C as a mouthpiece is pretty useless to me - way too narrow ... I`m pretty sure the really old Bakelite lookalike one came with the YAS21 - the mint boxed unused one with the new 62-III I had but can`t think for the life of me where the other two came from .....
What do people (who don`t buy and sell horns) do with 4Cs and other entry level pieces they`ll never use (is there a market for them?) - My Mpc drawer is pretty frugal compared to some - I`d love to know whos got the most unplayed ones kicking about .
