As a saxophone player, your mouthpiece is the most important part of creating your sound—even more important than the horn itself. The mouthpiece plays a huge role in the feel, tone, playability and intonation of your instrument. Finding your true sound is a lifelong journey that begins with finding the right mouthpiece.

If you’re still playing the mouthpiece that came with the instrument, you’re not getting the most out of your tone.

Whether you’re a beginner or have been playing for years, if you haven’t explored upgrading your mouthpiece, what are you waiting for? An upgraded mouthpiece can: • Improve your tone immediately • Offer a wider range of tonal colors • Allow you to execute more difficult music • Reinvigorate your passion for playing If you’ve just purchased a new horn, or you’re looking for an upgraded mouthpiece for your current instrument, Woodwind & Brasswind carries the largest selection of saxophone mouthpieces in the world, from top brands like Vandoren, JodyJazz, Selmer-Paris, Theo Wanne, Meyer and more.

All purchases are backed by our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee (return a new item in its original condition within 45 days to receive a full refund, less a sanitizing fee).
