Description

For sale is a vintage Meyer New York 5M Alto mouthpiece. The 5M is one of the most versatile chambers for alto sax.An intermediate player can use a 2.0 to 2.50 strength Rico Royale an get a great sound. An advanced player can use a stiffer reed and get that beautiful, warm, full sound that Meyer is famous for. I used this mouthpiece for both classical and jazz with great results!The engraved words New York are visible at the bottom of the third photo.There is a  minor indentation where the front teeth rested on the tip.I am including an old ligature and cap, but these are minor items.International Buyers will be charged the actual shipping charges( Typically $25-$35 to the Far East, for example )On Sep-05-08 at 18:04:19 PDT, seller added the following information:I am absolutely certain that this is an " early" New York USA mouthpiece.Leo Thayer's Museum Mouthpiece website mentions how resonant the early models were, and how the interior finish work was superior to the later model. I agree.It is also mentions that the medium chamber is considered the best chamber for alto.
