D'Addario Rico Royal Graftonite Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece - C5 | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The D'Addario Rico Royal RRGMPCTSXC5 Graftonite Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece is a student-focused accessory built to make learning the tenor saxophone as approachable and enjoyable as possible. Constructed from Rico's durable polycarbonate Graftonite material, the C5 facing delivers a free-blowing, warm response that helps beginning players produce a pleasing, full tone right from the start. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable tenor saxophone mouthpiece in Idaho Falls, the Rico Royal Graftonite C5 is a smart, dependable choice.
Product Overview
The Rico Royal Graftonite line is purpose-built for first-time players and students, combining the traditional look and feel of a professional mouthpiece with a design that prioritizes ease of response and tonal consistency. The polycarbonate construction closely mimics the appearance of a standard hard rubber mouthpiece, giving young players an authentic playing experience while offering far greater resistance to the chips, cracks, and dings that inevitably come with learning a new instrument.
The C5 facing sits in the middle of the Graftonite tenor lineup, offering a moderately open tip that balances ease of response with enough tonal flexibility to grow with the player. It produces a warm, centered tone that is forgiving for beginners while remaining musical and satisfying across a range of dynamic levels — a mouthpiece that won't hold students back as their technique develops.
The Graftonite series is available in a variety of models and tonal colors, giving students and educators at Piano Gallery in Idaho Falls the flexibility to find the right configuration as playing styles and musical goals evolve over time.

Key Features
Graftonite Polycarbonate Construction
The Graftonite's polycarbonate body offers the look and feel of a traditional hard rubber mouthpiece while standing up to the everyday handling and occasional drops that come with student use. It maintains its shape and playing characteristics session after session, making it a reliable long-term investment for developing players.
C5 Facing — Moderately Open Tip
The C5 facing provides a moderately open tip opening that sits comfortably between the tighter B-series and more open D-series models. This makes it a versatile choice for students who want a mouthpiece that responds easily without feeling overly resistant, while still offering enough flexibility for expressive playing as technique improves.
Free-Blowing Design
Designed with beginners in mind, the C5's free-blowing character significantly reduces the effort required to produce a warm, resonant tone on the tenor saxophone. Students can focus on developing their embouchure and breath support rather than struggling against their equipment from day one.
Warm, Centered Tone
The Graftonite C5 produces a balanced, pleasing tonal character that is musical and satisfying to play right out of the box. Its consistent response across dynamic levels helps students develop good tonal habits early and gives educators a reliable baseline to work from.
