Yamaha Tenor Sax 7C

A simple, yet good mouthpiece for Tenor sax. for years I played on a D Soloist mouthpiece and was recommended to buy this one. A little doubt in my mind, but I'm not an anarchist so I bought it. Man, wat a great mouthpiece for the price!
it does it all. It sounds very good and full. The only 'complaint' if you can call it that, is that you really have to work to use it to its full potential.

Overall, great piece of equipment.

The least successful mouthpiece purchase I have ever made.

It's actually not the least expensive mouthpiece that I have ever bought, as I dud but a Bari alto that was less than half the price of this one. I have also bought more than one Yamaha "student" level mouthpiece (which were narrower tips) that have worked well.

So, I was not expecting miracles from it, nor was I expecting it to sound as good as the more expensive Vandoren, Meyer and hand made RPC mouthpieces I have used.

But, I was expecting more than what I actually got. This mouthpiece, considering it was a comparatively wide tip opening, has a thin and weak sound that is almost to quiet to hear well.

The sound regularly breaks up on notes that are not especially difficult to play, such as first octave G and A and altissimo above high F# is impossible - although I frequently have no problems getting to G, G# and A with other mouthpieces and the same reeds that I used for this one.

I find the product information confusing to say the least, as I do not agree that it has "Powerful volume and rich tone tonal variations", nor is it (in my view) excellent for experienced players".

I have considered the possibility that I got a bad copy, as this is so completely different from what I was expecting. It is also quite different - in a bad way - from a 5C of the same make and material (that I dropped and was hoping to replace this with), which I found excellent.

Ich spiele ein Yamaha YTS62 in einer Funk and Soul Band und war auf der Suche nach einen neuen Mundstück, welches über mehr Power und Variabilität verfügen sollte als das Standard Mundstück Yamaha 4C, welches schon eine recht gute Basis darstellt. Mein altes Berg Larson Metall Mundstück war mir zu "knallig" und so dachte ich das 7C mal zu testen. Das 7C bringt viel mehr Power und Variabilität als das 4C und ist über den gesamten Tonumfang von tief bis hoch sehr ausgewogen und funky. Die Qualität und Verarbeitung sind wie gewohnt TOP. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis überragend. Ich bin mehr als überrascht über die Performance von 7C und kann das Mundstück für Fortgeschrittene Spieler nur wärmstens empfehlen.
