Beechler Diamond Inlay Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Model M8

***Note: the listings online (on amazon and most other major online retailers) for the Beechler Diamond Inlay Mouthpieces (Letter+Number) are not fully descriptive of the mouthpiece (Letter+Number+Letter).I am a serious jazz saxophonist (been playing in jazz bands and combos for about a decade), and alto sax is my main instrument. I ordered this mouthpiece because I was getting bored with my sound and was in the mood for something brighter and edgier. I had heard someone play on a Beechler L6S and loved it, and after searching online and not finding any listings for these mouthpieces with two letters and a number, I decided to order the S6 thinking it might be the same mouthpiece model. I received it in the mail, and the mouthpiece said "S6S", so I was wrong. If I am not mistaken, I believe the first letter (small/medium/large) refers to the facing length, and is not indicated online.Anyway, I have been playing this mouthpiece (S6S) for three weeks now and love it so far! The sound is very bright indeed, but still warm and fully controllable. In fact, this is the most dynamic jazz mouthpiece I've ever played. Very comfortable down to a whisper, and fully capable of screaming like I'd never thought possible on the alto. The tone is very fat and full-bodied and fully comes to life in the higher registers. Altissimo is easy, and the low notes are nice as well. Tuning is good, too. All in all, I would absolutely recommend this mouthpiece, just make sure to call the supplier to see exactly which model you're getting. This mouthpiece does not come with a ligature, so I am playing it with the basic rovner ligature I already had and it works great. I am using Vandoren ZZ 2.5 reeds.

The Beechler Diamond Inlay mouthpiece gives me the sound that in after. Produces bright high end overtones that cut through the worship band for great sounding lead solos.

excelente sonido

Great mouthpiece

The Beecher has changed and ,ln my opinion, not for the better.

Great mouth piece!

This mpc helps me to reach altissimo notes easily. It has also forced me to work more on my embouchure, as more air is needed because of the reduced chamber size. One thing for sure..... This mpc is LOUD! Really screams like none other.

This mouthpiece is terrible. When it arrived, I thought it would be a good mouthpiece until I tried it. When I tried it, all the mouthpiece did was squeak and make terrible noises, and produce an airy sound. My meyer mouthpiece outplays this.This is my opinion on this mouthpiece. All mouthpieces are different. This one did not work for me.Try at your own risk, it may or may not work for you.

昔使用していたが、好みの変化により売却。今回は2回目の購入である。1回目は、ブライトでエッジの立つ音とフラジオの出し易さが決め手となり購入。巷で言われている「作りが悪い」「ピッチが安定しない」というデメリットは確かに当てはまるのだが、訓練次第で克服出来るレベルであった（少なくとも私にとっては）。元々購入予定は無かったが、たまたま商品ページを見た際に、かつての記憶を思い出し、決済完了。届いて早速息を入れると、まさにファンタステック！！　良い買い物をした。今回気づいた点として、音の強弱に伴う音色の変化が殆ど無い事。場面によっては、とても使い勝手が良い。音色の変化に気を使いつつの演奏は、時として非常にストレスとなるのだが、この心配をする場面が劇的に減った事は嬉しい誤算だった。あえて唯一の不満を挙げるとすれば、低音域の渋みが期待出来ない事。こればかりは構造上止むを得ないが、プレイスタイル次第では必要無かったり割り切る事が出来るので、重要な問題では無いだろう。
