Get A Sax - GS New York 2024 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece - 5M tip opening

This mouthpiece is a 5M tip opening for Alto Sax.

This is a mouthpiece made by the good folks at GetASax based on an outstanding copy of the The best Meyer Bros New York vintage mouthpiece they have in their collection. They scan and create a near identical copy of the original mouthpiece out of dental resin. It has a very nice mouth feel and plays beautifully.

Here is their description of this mouthpiece on their website:

This is an extremely precise copy of my favorite Meyer Bros New York alto piece from my collection of New York Meyer mouthpieces.

A great New York Meyer just sparkles. The response is clean, warm, and effortlessly free blowing, but centered and with an elusive extra magic to it - even compared to any other version of Meyer.

What you get: The Best Meyer Ever

If you're not a vintage mouthpiece geek, you probably didn't know that there are three different mouthpieces that are stamped Meyer Bros New York (not incuding the Tru-Flex or the NYUSA). The first is a rather stubby, fat bodied one. Then this one that the GS NEW YORK copies, with NEW YORK on the same side as MeYeR and 'medium chamber' in small font on the table side. The last version has a fatter body again, and has MEDIUM on the same side as MeYeR and NEW YORK on the table side. 

Some folks prefer the third version. I prefer the second, though we may offer the third version as a GS mouthpiece someday as well. The one we copied has just the right balance of warmth and projection to stand out as the one, holy grail, best-ever (in my opinion anyway) do-it-all alto mouthpiece that you need. There are lots of other great alto mouthpieces on the market, but to my knowledge nobody has actually successfully produced an exact copy of a Meyer Bros NY like this before, until now.

These also all get hand faced by me. That's the main slow step in getting them to you, but I'm facing them as fast as I can while keeping the facing work perfect. The hand facing is a step that you can't skip. If you try to make a replica mouthpiece and you don't replicate a really excellent facing, you might as well not bother. So you get my favorite 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 facing that I've played so far, on whichever tip mouthpiece you request. Tips are as follows: 4= .069" 5= .072" 6= .076" 7= .080" 8= .085".

The baffle on each tip opening is placed just where Meyer would place it relative to the tip rail and chamber, so each one is a really good copy of the appropriate tip of Meyer Bros. One big advantage we have is that we make these entirely in house, so we can keep improving them until they are perfect. By using biocompatible dental resin to make the complex, organic chamber and baffle shapes, we can keep improving and iterating the model until each one is perfect. We spend a LOT of time and effort on that, and I hope that it shows in the quality of mouthpiece and the playing experience that you get.

I love their mouthpieces and see them as a means of accessing top quality vintage mouthpieces at an accessible price point. I sold my sax and am thus selling my mouthpieces as well.

This mouthpiece sells for $260 new. Thanks for considering it.
