Review: Excellent value for money - I was using a 4c Yamaha for around a year, as my embouchure developed the tip opening became to small I bought this Rico 5b to try and yes it was a tight fit,however the tone is incredible, much better than mouthpieces I have tried costing five times as much,I play in a saxophone collective and all are impressed,it has totally transformed the sound of my sax,I would recommend these mouthpieces to anyone.
Review: Better than a Yamaha 4C! - I'm new to playing the saxophone and was told to start with a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece on my alto saxophone. I just couldn't get on with it, I felt I was not in control of the tone produced by the Yamaha 4C and went thru a variety of reeds and ligatures. Then someone recommended I try a Rico B5 Graphonite mouthpiece as an alternative, the difference was immediate, I've never heard my saxophone sound so good and I was able to play notes from high C to low C. Don't always be pushed into getting what is believed to be best for a beginner, do as I did and research for a better mouthpiece, you will see immediate results.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: \What  is the value of the different  Alto Rico Graftonite mouth pieces ?**
A: Check the Rico website for info on their
different mouthpieces.

**Q: Does it work on a clarinet?**
A: This model is specifically for alto saxophone. It would not work on clarinet.

**Q: Which is best for a complete beginner?**
A: If the student is very small physically (like some 4th graders), then the B3.  
If they are average size (5th & 6th grade), and can learn to use lip muscles for Embouchure instead of jaw pressure (biting); then the B5 offers many advantages.  This works very well with the orange box Rico #2 reed. The B chamber offers a warmer sound and easier response for Band  playing.

**Q: Is there a conversion chart of the different mouthpieces? ie...something comparable to the Yamaha alto sax 4C, but in the Rico mouthpieces.**
A: Yes. At a different online retailer. Search for "saxophone mouthpiece comparison chart" on your favorite search engine. Here is the link, if it comes through for you: http://www.wwbw.com/Buyer-Guides-Saxophone-Mouthpiece-g25074t0.wwbw

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive but decent. Just wish it had come with a ligature.
*by M***A on 5 September 2019*

I was using the plastic mouthpiece that came with my sax. Was sure I should have been starting to sound better by now. Swapped it for this one and it made a noticeable difference 😁
