BARI Ebonite - Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

A RICH AND SONOROUS SOUND

The BARI Classic Ebonite mouthpiece embodies all the characteristics expected from a hard rubber alto mouthpiece. It delivers a lush, resonant low end, a well-rounded core tone in the middle range, and sweetness in the upper register. The journey began with Wolfe Taninbaum, the designer of the original BARI reeds and mouthpieces, a musician renowned for his performances in orchestras like Les Brown, Benny Goodman, and Jimmy Dorsey. Wolfe's impact extended beyond playing; he played a pivotal role in creating a distinctive facing for alto and tenor mouthpieces, known as the "WT," later adopted by Otto Link. This facing produced a sought-after dark, husky resonance that commanded high prices. Today's WT II and WT III mouthpieces represent enhanced iterations of the original design, offering you the opportunity to achieve that coveted sound with BARI-branded mouthpieces.

Staff review: 

A classic design for the classic alto sound. Big and powerful bottom ends, round mid range and voice like high range. The mouthpiece is very consistent, free blowing and produces a great sound. Pops when you push it and you can get a really big sound, but if you want to play quiet you don't loose any of the roundness and body of the sound. It's ideal for anyone looking for an affordable traditional jazz mouthpiece. Tommy (Sax London)
