Meyer Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Ebonite
Product Information
The Meyer alto saxophone mouthpiece is the iconic standard for players seeking warmth and clarity, flexibility and control. Built with JJ Babbitt's proprietary hard rubber formulation, moulded and vulcanised using modern precision, Meyer is refined through a manufacturing partnership with Theo Wanne Mouthpieces that brings tighter process control and consistency to every mouthpiece. This partnership ensures the Meyer you pick up delivers the warm, rich tonal core and responsiveness that stays clear under articulation and remains responsive across a wide dynamic range — essential for the alto's role in blending and leading within an ensemble.
Notes speak easily, articulation stays defined without becoming edgy, and the sound retains its body and centre as volume increases. The classic chamber design and balanced resistance profile create a responsive feel that supports both the nuance of ballads and the projection needed in uptempo jazz. Medium resistance offers control and focus for tight articulation, while remaining free-blowing to encourage a natural, unforced response.
Meyer doesn't force you into a narrow sound — it gives you a centred tonal core and the freedom to shape it into your own voice, whether you're blending in a section, playing lead in a combo, or stepping forward as a soloist. Suitable for all levels from developing musicians to seasoned professionals, Meyer's versatility across jazz, bebop, contemporary, and commercial styles makes it the alto mouthpiece you can grow with. Available in alto tip openings: 4M (.064), 5M (.071), 6M (.076), 7M (.081), 8M (.086), 9M (.091), 10M (.096).

Meyer Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Ebonite Reviews
Great service, very good mouthpiece
I bought it for my 19 yr old saxophonist grandson. He is very pleased with it.
Because of the lockdown with COVID-19 I wasn’t able to visit or try out any any mouthpieces. I purchased this Meyer mouthpiece on a recommendation. I am extremely pleased with the purchase, the tone is much richer and deeper and I am finding it extremely easy to play.
Not my chosen sound but good all rounder.
Wonderful tone without being too hard for a student to control
Bought for my Music Teacher. she is pleased with it
Great mouthpiece, I have used this model for many years. The graded lay provides a full and rich tone. The mid sized 5M suites all styles of playing.
After using a Selmer Jazz metal mouthpiece, which has a great sound, I found the Meyer more manageable - probably because my usual instrument is a baritone and I find the alto difficult!
As a developing player (mainly jazz & blues) my teacher recommended an upgrade from my Yamaha 4C. Spent a morning with Dawkes playing various pieces and settled on the Meyer. Lovely tone, warm and mellow but with a hard edged growl when you want it. Still learning how to get the best from it but when I hit the sweet spot it sounds great.
I purchased a 7M Meyer M/piece from Dawkes in April '10. I had been using a Lawton 7 star B since the 1970s but the passage of years had made it eventually, unusable. I purchased the Meyer on Dawkes advice and it has given me a new lease of life. The tone suits me and it is untiring to use. I would highly recommend it - From low B to top F#.
