I recommend this to all my students
As a music educator, I suggest the Yamaha 4C to almost every new alto sax player. It forgives minor embouchure errors while still rewarding good technique. It's durable and holds its value well.

Solid choice, slightly resistant
Good mouthpiece overall. It feels slightly more resistant than some modern facing designs, which helps with embouchure strength but requires good air support. The ligature included is functional but basic.

The Gold Standard for Students
This is the mouthpiece that came with my student sax, but I lost it and had to buy a replacement. It produces a warm, consistent tone that is easy to control. Perfect for anyone learning the basics without breaking the bank.

Great upgrade from plastic
My son's beginner sax came with a cheap plastic mouthpiece. Switching to this ebonite 4C made an immediate difference in his sound quality and response. Highly recommend for any parent looking to help their child improve.

Reliable and Consistent
I've used Yamaha 4Cs for twenty years as a backup piece. While I prefer a more open tip for gigging, this is incredibly reliable. The intonation is spot on across all registers. Great build quality as expected from Yamaha.

Smooth Tone Production
I needed a mouthpiece that wasn't too bright or too dark for our school band ensemble. The 4C sits right in the middle, blending well with other instruments. Very comfortable to play for long rehearsals.
Q: How do I clean the ebonite material?
A: You should clean the mouthpiece with lukewarm water and mild soap after each use. Avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals, as extreme heat can warp the ebonite and alter the facing.
Q: Can I use this on a Clarinet?
A: No, this product is exclusively for Eb Alto Saxophones. Clarinet mouthpieces have a completely different bore and tenon size and are not interchangeable with saxophone mouthpieces.
Q: Does this mouthpiece fit a Tenor Saxophone?
A: No, the AS-4C model is specifically designed for Eb Alto Saxophones. The shank size is different for Tenor saxophones; you would need a TS-4C model for a Tenor.
Q: Is the ligature included metal or fabric?
A: The ligature included with the genuine Yamaha AS-4C is a standard metal ligature with two screws. It is designed to hold the reed securely without dampening the vibration.
Q: What reed strength works best with this tip opening?
A: The 4C tip opening generally pairs well with reed strengths between 2.0 and 2.5 for most players. Beginners often start with a 2.0, while intermediate players may prefer a 2.5 for more resistance.
