### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super nice mouth piece

This mouthpiece is really nice and looks well built . The reeds sit really nice on it so good choice and great price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So nice I bought it twice
*by D***O on March 30, 2019*

Well, actually I bought it twice because my original one was either stolen, or I'm the world's biggest idiot about misplacing things. Normally I don't do product reviews on Amazon anymore, but I'm making an exception here. I've been playing sax for about 3 months now on a YAS 23 which actually came with another student mouthpiece made by NEMC, so I bought the Yamaha 4C. After about 3 months of some pretty good progress if I do say so myself, my MPC went missing and I had to use the NEMC one. Holy crap, it's like night and day. The 4c outperforms it in every way from playability to sound and even tuning. Is the 4C a professional piece? Absolutely not. It's designed for us students to get a sound. Is it head and shoulders above most "student" mouthpieces? YES GOOD LORD YES. If you're a student or just starting out, do yourself a favor and drop $25 on either this or the 5C. Yamaha is a legend in the business and for good reason. Their uniform quality control means your chances of getting a "bad" Yamaha MPC are lower than a lot of other brands. The 4c is the industry standard I was pointed to by everyone I spoke with, and I understand why now. Can't wait for my replacement to get here Monday!
