Yes, contemporary Meyer mouthpieces are primarily used for jazz. The Meyer pieces have been favorites of many jazz players for many many years;especially the vintage pieces that have New York USA stamped on them . They carry the same sort of legendary reputation as the vintage Selmer Mark6 saxophones and are highly prized for their particular sound or tone. The new Meyer pieces are priced around $80-100 online but it is not unusual to see a vintage New York Meyer be sold at an online auction for $2500-3500.

Yes and no, a symphony does have an alto sax sometimes but it is not required for it to have one. It really depends if the symphony is classical, blues, or jazz. Jazz and blues should always have an alto sax. Classical doesn't really need an alto sax, but it does make classical sound better.
