It's the best because it has a ROUND chamber and a long closed lay. The round chamber make the sound homogenous throughout the entire range. The closed lay permits rapid articulation not possible in other mouthpieces. The long lay makes a 3 reed on this mouthpiece feel like a 3 1/2. It is the only mouthpiece that I've ever used that is capable of getting that string-like quality found in the French school of saxophone playing. I use this mouthpiece with a Mark VI alto, Rovner dark lig and Classique 3 reeds. If you are looking for the perfect classical alto mouthpiece look no further...this is it.

I've owned approx 10 sax mouthpieces. I gradually sold all of them and now use the LT exclusively. The LT produces the sound i hear in my head, namely- classic French warm dark sound. Mine is one of the older ones but if the new ones are true to the original design, round chamber and long facing you will have a great mouthpiece and a unique tone.

These aren't as good as the vintage Larry Teal mouthpieces, but they are still nice players. The vintage pieces have more depth and richness of tone, and a slightly darker sound. Still, these mouthpieces are worth a try.

This mpc is really great I use it for classical and it gives me that dark round sound that I've been always looking for. My band director has complemented me several times on my classical solos for good tone and I give credit to this mpc. Its really great. Try it with a Rovner Lig and atleast size 3 reeds.

I've tried many alto sax mouthpieces and I found the teal works the best for me. It really gives a nice warm and dark sound with out the edge of the C* and C**. It's helped a great deal.
