Both were easy to blow through the entire range, and both had a warm, pleasant tone

It has completely changed the sound of my son's sax for the better it has a much richer tone now.

For someone on a budget needing a warm, rich sound while being easy to blow, I can't see how you could go wrong with this!My daughter was very enthusiastic about the difference between this and her stock mouthpiece, and after learning this was very affordable her eyes went really wide with excitement and in hope that it was within our grasp to make a change to one of this caliber - exactly the reaction a parent loves to see.

No negative comments, but the sound is a little bright for concert band.

THEY LAST AND ARE A GREAT PRICE ON AMAZON.

Reasonably priced mouthpiece and huge upgrade over the trash they provide with beginning model instruments.

It plays OK, and is a fair beginner mouthpiece, However the Yamaha 4C is better for beginning students at a much better price.

Knowing that, the Hite would be okay for school level jazz but would play quieter than I would like, and I'd prefer the Selmer which was surprisingly loud when pushed

But for pure concert band this Hite is a gem!While we both independently preferred the Selmer in the end, we'd be perfectly happy with this Hite

None of the five are considered jazz mouthpieces, but the ones which play louder may work better when forced into jazz service

I recently purchased an inexpensive saxophone

I've played sax myself through college and still play occasionally, so I wanted in on the fun as well

Both definitely had a more more pleasing sound than the Yamaha 4C (which is a great starter and marching mouthpiece!) and more enjoyable to play overall
