Crafted from high-quality phenol resin and drawing design inspiration from Yamaha’s professional-class Custom Series, the AS5C mouthpiece features a slightly wider tip opening than Yamaha’s 4C, making it ideal for advancing players. While the 5C requires a slightly more developed embouchure, it pays back dividends in the form of a bigger, fuller sound and increased tonal flexibility. Manufactured to Yamaha’s strict quality standards, the AS5C mouthpiece delivers extraordinary value for its price, which makes it a top choice of music educators.
Yamaha Custom Series saxophone mouthpieces are sculpted out of choice ebonite, a high-quality hard rubber which offers a deep resonance and tonal qualities similar to those of natural wood. Every step of the production, from the initial shaping of the mouthpiece ‘blank’ to the final hand crafting of the facing, is done by Yamaha’s experienced artisans for complete control ensuring consistent high quality.
