Customers like the quality, sound quality, versatility, and blowing of the alto saxophone mouthpiece. For example, they mention it's an excellent mouthpiece for any level player, produces a fabulous tone mid range and low, and it'll produce many sounds with almost any reed. That said, they appreciate performance, tone, and ease of use. One downside is the fit, with some complaining about the ligature being too small for several of the resds they tried.

That being said, I think the mouthpiece itself is a solid 5 Stars! You should get a much deeper, clearer, smoother sound on your sax. To test the tone quality difference for yourself, use the setup of your current mouthpiece/reed/ligature and then switch out just the mouthpiece to your new Meyer. You will probably say, Wow! I fell in love with it as soon as I blew into my sax and hit the first run. Solid lows down to Bb and up to high altissimo. And everything in between was smooth, solid, and in tune; even that sometimes annoyingingly out-of-tune middle C and C# were in tune and controllable. The “growls” sounded good too. You can bend the notes easily and in tune as well.
So, overall I am very satisfied with the mouthpiece. 5 Stars! I am just wondering why the ligature that comes standard with it is almost useless. But I guess it is just a token ligature and they expect you to use your own or upgrade with the mouthpiece purchase.
All of the negative observations aside, its easy to get many sounds out of this with almost any reed. Its also pleasant to the touch.
Only reason for the four stars is really, the ligature. Meyer, get your act together!
or either sell it for less without such a crap ligature that honestly no one will use.
