JodyJazz believes the HR* may be the best hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpiece on the market, and the Alto 6m is an ideal entry point into that experience.
Product Overview
The HR* is crafted from high-quality hard rubber, the traditional material of choice for alto saxophone mouthpieces prized for its warm, rich tone and comfortable playing feel. Rigorous quality control standards ensure that every HR* mouthpiece meets consistent performance benchmarks, making it a reliable choice for students stepping up to a professional-grade accessory and seasoned performers who need dependable results night after night. For alto saxophonists at Piano Gallery in Idaho Falls seeking a versatile, traditionally voiced mouthpiece, the HR* delivers exceptional value at a professional level.
The Alto 6m tip opening measures .078 inches, positioning it comfortably in the mid-range of the HR* lineup—responsive enough for expressive playing while remaining approachable for students developing their embouchure and tone. The HR* is available in tip openings ranging from C* (.066) through 9m (.100), covering a wide spectrum of playing preferences. Ask our team at Piano Gallery about other available tip openings if the 6m isn't the right fit for your setup.
