Key Features
Experience the best mouthpiece that Yanagisawa has to offer. The Yanagisawa Classical tenor mouthpiece is the perfect addition to your classical setup. Similar to all other Yanagisawa products, the Classical mouthpiece is hand-crafted in Japan by experienced artisans to ensure unparalleled quality.
The tenor Classical mouthpiece is perfect for symphonic and ensemble music. This is mostly due to the round chamber which delivers a balanced and even voice throughout all registers. The Classical mouthpiece is available in two different sizes so you can get your perfect size.
The secret to making such a good mouthpiece starts with the material - quality ebonite. This ebonite has been specially designed to assist with intonation, control, and tonal depth - a must-have for classical saxophonists.

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 has 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.
