Alto Mouthpieces
Maine Saxes custom Meyer alto mouthpieces
Here is my new refaced and customized Meyer alto mouthpiece which I am currently playing myself. I flatten the table, apply my ideal facing curve for each tip opening, reshape the rails to fit an average reed, and reshape the baffle for a balanced overtone spectrum. You have probably played a Meyer before but if you have never played one with a good reface, it is an entirely different mouthpiece with tons of color, power and expression available.

These are great players, very similar to the medium chamber Meyer. I flattened the table, refaced it with a medium length curve which is a little shorter than the factory facing, and adjusted the baffle and chamber to play nice and fat with a balanced mix of overtones.

Morgan Classical 3C - $319
If you're accustomed to playing the typical small-chamber modern classical mouthpieces like the Selmer C* or Vandoren Optimum, this Morgan will be a revelation. It might take a little time to get used to it but once you get the feel for it, I don't think you will ever go back. This kind of mouthpiece has a much more full and balanced saxophone sound with a lot more depth and low end when compared tone of the square chamber Selmer C*. This is a really beautiful sounding mouthpiece and is very easy to play. Don't be afraid of the large chamber. It is very easy to control and not at all stuffy. I highly recommend you give it a try.

I'm not exactly sure which model this is since the original stamp is so faded but I believe it's either the LR or LR-II. The facing was extremely weird and crooked so I did a full reface and now it plays great with a very clear and dark tone. It looks like it might be a bright piece but it's actually quite nice and dark and you can put a lot of air into it with the big tip opening.
