Key Features
Looking for a mouthpiece that can be used for multiple genres? The Yanagisawa baritone saxophone mouthpiece in metal is a fantastic mouthpiece that won't break the bank. Hand-crafted in Japan by Yanagisawa's experienced artisans, the metal baritone mouthpiece is guaranteed to impress.
Similar to other metal mouthpieces, the Yanagisawa metal mouthpiece has all the power and projection that you'd expect. But thanks to the square chamber, it can also produce a fantastically smooth tone. And once combined with the No. 5 tip, you will immediately hear how accurate the intonation is.
The secret to making such a good mouthpiece starts with the material - high-quality brass. Thanks to the bright tone and loud volumes that brass metal mouthpieces can achieve, they are perfect for big band ensembles. Once the Yanagisawa mouthpiece has been finished, it's silver-plated for an extra touch of class. The mouthpiece even includes a matching ligature and cap.

With everyone needing to use hand sanitiser much more these days, some people are concerned about maintaining hygiene without damaging their saxophones or its parts. Yanagisawa have conducted research into how you can sanitise your hands as well as your instrument without doing any harm. The results have found that Ethanol based disinfectants and sanitisers are the best choice, with 100 Ethanol chemicals causing almost no change in the finishes of the saxes. Whereas, Chlorine-based products caused significant damage, resulting in tarnished metal or loosened lacquer.
There are other tips to remember as well as the type of disinfectant. Make sure never to spray disinfectant directly onto your sax, instead use a soft cloth to wipe the body and metal mouthpiece. Then use a separate, dry cloth to wipe it again thoroughly to remove all residue. You should also make sure your hands are dry after sanitising before touching your instrument and never use heat, like steam or hot water, for cleaning. Don't use chlorine or ethanol-based antiseptics on Ebonite mouthpieces or SIXS ligatures.
