Caravan Alto Saxophone
Mouthpiece (Medium Chamber)

The Caravan Medium Chamber Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece is an open-chamber mouthpiece that produces a nicely balanced sound with a greater presence of upper partials in the sound (“brightness”) compared to the Caravan large-chamber alto mouthpiece. This mouthpiece can be an excellent alternative for “classical” saxophone players who prefer some of the brighter characteristics of the traditional French sound and French-design mouthpieces while wishing for greater tonal depth and less shrillness in the upper registers. Wider-than-normal tip and side rails on this mouthpiece enhance tonal homogeneity and smoothness without an excessive increase in blowing resistance. The medium-chamber alto mouthpiece is available in one standard facing that has a tip opening of around .062 in.
