What is a good metal mouthpiece for the tenor sax?
The most commonly used metal mouthpiece for the tenor sax is the Otto Link Super Tone Master. This is the same mouthpiece used by Dexter Gordan and John Coltrane.These are made from bell brass than silver, nickle or gold plated. The most preferred facing is the 7*.(.105") however many professionals use the 8 (.110") or the 7 (100".) Generally the more open the tip is, you would a slightly softer reed and the converse is true . (smaller tip ,harder reed.)John Coltrane played on a 6*, with 4's (reeds). There are some players who use a super open tip, Johnny Griffin and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis both used a Link 10*.That is a massive (.135")!

Does a mouthpiece affect your sound on tenor saxophone?
One is made from metal, and one is made from plastic.Actually, metal mouthpieces are commonly made from alloys of Brass (copper and zinc) or stainless steel (steel and chromium). Some are then plated with silver or gold. It is absolutely crucial that a brass mouthpiece is plated. The musician will develop "brass poisoning" (it looks like cold sores) if a brass mouthpiece is not plated. Another mouthpiece material is "hard rubber" and are commonly mistaken as "Plastic", since they are black and not made of "metal". Plastic mouthpieces are much lower in price, and break easily if accidentally dropped. Hard Rubber mouthpieces are more expensive and don't break as easily as plastic. Even though plastic mouthpieces are inexpensive some great players have used them such as Charlie Parker, who played on a white Runyon model 22, and also a white plastic Brilhart Tonalin.The advantage of the metal mouthpiece is that it doesn't easily break, and the "face" of the mouthpiece (where the reed lays) isn't easily warped - something that can happen if you clean a Hard Rubber mouthpiece with hot water (only use luke warm water). Plastic mouthpieces will change their molecular make up if they are cleaned with acetone and sometimes are even sensitive to alcohol and consequently break easily.Some people believe that "If the chamber's of any type material mouthpiece were the same, the listener would not be able to tell the difference between the 3 materials". This assumption has been proven wrong. There are some who can not only hear the difference but have won radio contests by being able to decipher the difference. This ability is not common, but has been proven to exist. Metal, Hard Rubber and Plastic mouthpieces have slight sound differences, but the biggest difference is felt by the player - who would feel the different vibrational characteristics. "There are a lot of opinions on "makes" like "Selmer" or "Keilworth"and how they play with different mouthpieces. The recognizable sound of a saxophonist comes from their vocal chords. No matter how many different mouthpieces you use - the player is still identifiable, by their "sound". There was once a radio contest where the caller in was able to identify Zoot Simms impersonating Stan Getz. Zoot did a great job sounding like Stan, but the listener that new his "voice" was still able to tell over a radio speaker that it wasn't him (all the other calls guessed "Stan Getz"). Again, this ability is rare and for most people the difference is mostly felt by the player, so the real test is to record yourself and then listen to the differences. Some "makes" simply sound too "bright" with a metal mouthpiece, because the player's vocal chords already lean toward that type of sound. It's common for the band teacher to recommend for a student to get a new mouthpiece, when the problem is that the saxophone needs repair. Most players make the mistake of not finding a good repair tech, and then try to "fix" their sound by replacing the mouthpiece. Always make sure your instrument is in good playing condition before testing and or purchasing mouthpieces.
