Welcome to Vintage Sax!

Mouthpieces

Made in the heyday of the big bands, fashioned by the hands of skilled craftsmen, and blown hard during all-night cooking sessions...vintage mouthpieces offer something to just about every level of player. The best of the hard rubber, bell metal, and other specialty materials respond in ways made famous by artists from Coleman Hawkins to Joshua Redman, and are capable of making beautiful music in any kind of style.

  • All mouthpieces come in, at least, very good, playable condition, have been washed and sterilized, and are ready to play.
  • All metal mouthpieces were originally gold-plated, unless otherwise noted.
