Kessler Custom Intermediate Rubber Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
Quality Hard Rubber – Traditional 5M Facing – Free H-Ligature

Mouthpiece is THE MOST important piece of equipment for the saxophone player. Our Kessler Custom line of mouthpieces are designed for specific styles of performance and musicality. Our “Intermediate Rubber” mouthpiece offers a traditional 5M style facing with excellent tone and response!

Our 5M mouthpiece features the same chamber design used on our higher end “New York Short Shank” model which helps give the mouthpiece excellent playability and tonal core. The traditional 5M facing allows for ease of play but still gives the player the room needed to push for more power when they need it. Our 5M offers exceptional versatility for the player who needs to do a little bit of everything with their performance styles.

It is ideal for 2 types of players:

Students who need a great, versatile mouthpiece capable of all styles
Advanced player who wants a rich sounding mouthpiece with great control

Ligature
We have made special arrangements with Rico to be able to provide their high performance “H-Ligature” (gold plate, with fitted cap) with this mouthpiece. In retail stores, this ligature and cap have a retail value of OVER $60 – but is included for FREE with our mouthpiece! This ligature is a modern design based on the vintage Harrison ligatures and offers excellent reed vibration while maintaining a good reed seal and a warm tone. This ligature is a GREAT improvement from standard ligatures giving longer reed life (from lack of center pressure on the reed) and a richer tone with greater presence to your sound.

Kessler & Sons Music offers a 3 day trial / return policy by default on our 5M alto sax mouthpiece. There are no cleaning fees or restocking fees (assuming that the item is returned in proper condition).

In order to protect the mouthpiece against scratches & marks when testing, we install a tooth patch before shipping. You are responsible for the condition of the mouthpiece while you are testing it. We highly recommend testing with a fabric style ligature to reduce the risk of scratching. Mouthpieces that are returned with irreparable scratches/marks might not be accepted for return.

Please read our terms & conditions (link at the bottom of the page) for full details on this policy.
