Ted Klum Yardbird Model alto sax mouthpiece

Ted Klum's "Yardbird Model alto mouthpieces"

Hand finished in polished German ebonite (hard rubber), this is the same core design as our acclaimed brass Yardbird model, but with that extra warmth and reed flexibility that hard rubber is known for.  It has that same power and “pop” as the brass but a bit more “reed friendly” and accommodates a normal HR alto ligature (included).

"It is difficult to try to convey with words how important Bird (Charlie Parker) is to me musically but to quote him from his tv appearance “Music speaks louder than words“ and although he set the bar so very high, those of us who love his music pay tribute to him every time we play! This is a sincere effort of creating a piece that offers a sound closer than anything available to the Bell metal brass cast London Selmer which he played from late ‘49 on and has all the elements of power, cut, warmth, and that full, dark, Tenor-like woodiness that we all love!" (Ted Klum)

...and greatest Jesse Davis shows us how it sounds!
