As a 15 year old jazz enthusiast, I thought I'd never find a classical mouthpiece that excited me. Well, I got my NC4 and after getting my classical embouchure going, I realized that this mouthpiece has a sweet tone! It has easy projection and a focused sound and lets me feel the freedom of jazz with the discipline of classical. If you're like me and want to be classical but cool, try the classical piece that rox.
The New Classic series greatly improves a number of inherent tonal problems of the saxophone. I find it has the greatest evenness of tone of any classical mouthpiece I have tried. It improves tonal inconsistencies between such notes as #C-D, D-Eb, etc. and thus, provides better intonation and response. It plays warmly, but with a good characteristic vibrance of tone. In addition, it is easily played by students of all ages and provides maximum benefit for the investment. Great mouthpiece!
This piece is so much better than a selmer c* its unbelievable. I can get more projection, which means more dynamic contrast. Its less resistant to a c* and it has a nice, centered, sweet tone. I play on a NC5 facing and I recommend this to those who are serious about classical music.
This mouthpiece is by far the smoothest and sweetest sounding classical mpc I've ever played on. I'm big into jazz, but I really needed a good classical mpc for symphonic season. This one is the one to buy. The sound is pure and clear. I use this mpc on my Yanigasawa 991 Alto along w/ hemke reeds. It's a great combination. This mpc takes some breaking in, but then again what mpc doesn't?! This is by far the best of the best.
I'm in the 9th grade and I've been especially good for my age and my sax setup with a beginner Vito, Optimun Lig, and a old Selmer C*. I knew it was time for a change so I decided to check out this...From the moment I played my first note on this mouthpiece is was like, "WHOA!" The tone was darker, yet more forceful and powerful. For an intermediate player on a new mouthpiece, altissimo was quite easy. From the low range to the high range, every fundamental was perfect. A best buy!
