Tone Metal
What metal alto saxophone mouthpiece can both play loud and have dark tone?
okay, so i'm in a small marching band and my band director said i should get a metal mouthpiece so i can play louder. right now i'm using a selmer C* and it has nice tone, but it just isnt loud enough. i dont care if the tone is average, i just dont want i really bight, edgy sound.
Having a dark tone will depend on opening up your throat, and what tip opening/ facing you get on the mouthpiece.
Metal mouthpieces are uncommon for altos- far more tenors use them, so there isn't as much selection. Therefore you'll probably have a hard time finding them at a local store. I'd check out Meyer and Otto Link, they both make good mouthpieces at decent prices (100-130). You should try out both brands, and within each brand, a few different facings, to find the best mouthpiece for you. If you are going to order online, call and make sure you can order many and return the ones you do not want.
A metal mouthpiece doesn't necessarily make you louder- you'll also need to give a lot of air support and loosen your embouchure. You may also want to try a harder reed.
