Well this is the choice of saxophones.co.uk specialist Steve Birtwistle.4M - .066 5M - .071 6M - .076 7M - .081 8M - .086 9M - .092 10M - .098 MEYER 6 ebonite. This was tested with it's own ligature, Rovner 'Dark' and BG 'Standard' and 'Super Revelation' ligatures and Rico, Vandoren V16 and Vandoren nos. 2 to 3 reeds. With its own ligature and Rico no.2 the response was excellent with a very clean sound. Tonguing was even with good intonation. With the V16 reed size 2 1/2, there was far better control over the sound, improved clarity and a rounder tone. Things got even better with the Rovner in terms of articulation and control while the sound became richer. The BG 'Standard' was very similar to the Rovner, but I had problems with the 'Super Revelation' which seemed to strangle the sound, and it just didn't want to project. I have personally found a lot of pros using this mouthpiece because of the huge variety of styles that it can be used for(sax used Selmer S80 Series II).MEYER 7 Ebonite "Playing the Meyer put me in mind of the old school playing of Zoot Zims, Al Cohn, and the Unique 4 Brothers sound made famous by the Woody Herman orchestra. It has a vast dynamic range with a tone that is broad and wide with plenty of smoothness & much clarity. It has a wonderful 'cantabile' sound in all registers. Players looking for a quality mouthpiece that doesn't break the bank should look no further!" - Paul london@sax.co.uk
