Please check the return policy from the dealer you purchase your mouthpiece from.
If you aren’t sure what tip opening you play, we recommend you order a 5 for alto, a 6* for tenor and a 6 for baritone. This will be the easiest to play and ideal for anyone stepping up to their first jazz mouthpiece. All available tip openings offer the same sound quality and consistency. Watch my video above if you want to learn more about tip openings.
This will depend on demand. Send us a message if you would like to request a larger tip opening.
The BURNIN’ mouthpiece makes for an excellent mouthpiece upgrade for anyone who has been playing the saxophone for a while and is looking to get a top quality mouthpiece that is perfectly suitable for advanced beginners up to professional players. We recommend most anyone stepping up to their first jazz mouthpiece select the 5 tip opening. Our best recommendation for a high quality yet low cost beginner mouthpiece is the BetterSax Classic.

This is the best tenor mouthpiece I’ve ever played! You’ll fall in love with it after the first note. I honestly didn’t think that the hard rubber burnin would be beat, but boy was I wrong! Powerful, edgy, smooth, easy response.

After playing with a hard rubber #5 for many years I really wanted a change in sound and projection. I have searched probably every tenor metal mouthpiece at Sweetwater for weeks trying to decide. They’re a lotta money to roll the dice hoping it’s perfect sound and for my playing abilities.
I thought I had decided on the Otto Link but watched Jay Metcalf’s video comparing pretty much every mouthpiece I was considering. Maybe because it’s his and Jody Sax’s design and build but it projected the sound I was looking for and pulled the trigger.
Wow! Am I glad I did. Like warm butter, from the first few notes. It’s only gotten better as I’ve have gotten used to the lager tip opening. As suggested I dropped from a Vandoren #3 reed and tried the BetterSax #2.5 reed. Plays perfectly in all four octave ranges. It was worth the investment.

I ordered this in 6* and it was visually perfect in every way and you can tell, a very high quality piece. If I played out with a loud band and I wanted / needed to cut through, this would be a great mouthpiece! It is very bright and VERY loud! When I bought it, I thought it would fall somewhere between my metal Link 6* NY and my SK Origin in 7*. It was actually much brighter than both and seemingly twice as loud as both, to the point I thought I would need hearing protection. I play and record my own music at home and although a fantastically made mouthpiece, just wasn’t conducive to what I’m trying to do.

Experienced semi-pro sax player. After using a King Super 20 with an RPC 115b rubber mouthpiece, I sought a metal alternative and chose this 7* piece despite my preference for larger sizes. It’s well-crafted, performs excellently, and includes a ligature. It pairs well with BSS Silver 2.5 reeds, revitalizes my King Silversonic and MK6, and is now my go-to for rock on the 82Z. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a versatile mouthpiece for all styles.
