Just a Thought! You could take the mouthpiece by a jewelry shop or a coin dealer and have them test the mouthpiece to determine the material it is made of.
A good sax player like yourself will sound good on any mouthpiece. Even crappy ones 👍
Lol
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Israel Alvin instablaster :)
@Esteban Arthur thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Esteban Arthur it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
I got this mouthpiece a few days ago, and I really like it, although I'm a beginner sax player and my experience is quite limited.
But I've chemically tested its coating and it is, indeed, silver.
UPD: I'm updating my comment two months later, since then I've ordered two more mouthpieces like this and they're really inconsistent in quality. Both of them are going back, but the first one stays with me. I've polished the table and the rails a little to make it seal better.
None of them had this stain thing, though.
I also got a $20 Yibuy tenor 9 in rose gold, and it's quite nice. The plating doesn't appear to react with any alcali or acid I could find in my household. It might really be gold haha.
If it is indeed silver, that would kind of explain the dark stain; silver tarnishes like that.
I bought 3 of these in different sizes for tenor and alto. "Noxon Metal Polish" takes the black tarnish right off. The ligature is staining the metal.
How ironic I just saw your other video a few days ago on the other yibuy mouthpiece you reviewed. I might be tempted to buy this one as well.
Not related to the mouthpiece, but I just wanted to say that I really like the addition of the simple black background in your latest videos, Sirvalor. Nice touch.
Thank you for the amazing content! Please keep them coming.
Great video Adrien
The ligature is worth the price alone. Its very similar in function to the Versa ligature. I upgraded the thumb screw and rods with Rovner hardware. Just fantastic...
Wich ligature did you buy?, i think rovner tenor is waaay too large for this mouthpiece
@@danielrocha2581 I'm referring to the ligature that comes with the mouthpiece.
I agree with your closing comments. I have 5 metal mouthpieces I’ve been playing since the 70’s. Been replacing them with hard rubber. Over the last couple years.
I have a feeling it can be from the ligature. One of my silver sax got a similar mark from the black rubber on the sax stand. Stay Healthy!
That looks like silver tarnish near and around the bite plate (not the ligature stain). My Yanagisawa got shipped with similar tarnish in a few spots due to an overlook by the retailer. At least silver is safe to put in your mouth lmao
bought a #8 and man does it rip compared to my tone edge. Little harder to control for me, but 10 months into sax, so not sure if that's just me, or if mouthpiece is flawed. I know I am;) Thanks Sir!
Purchased the #6 of this same MP with a 'gold' colored finish and it is the best Ive ever used (50+ years).
I had facial paralysis and spent weeks getting my embouchere back.
All I did was polish the MP and with no other adjustments it is my all time favorite.
For the price of a ligature I have a MP that suits my needs better than some Ive spent $300+ for without lig. Very pleased..
I am using the D'Addario VENN polymer fiber reeds. Really has changed my game and saved lots of $$$$$ ...
Great videos.. Learning from a GREAT pro while kickin back in the studio is great .. The posts are incredible .. THANX BRO..
Cool, thanks for watching
Good Sir, very nice as usual. I've had good luck using Bacardi 151 as a general disinfectant, Further, a mouthful forcefully discharged through the mpc not only kllls germs but is a real crowd pleaser when ignited with a small butane torch. Rock on.
I will consider that on my next gig 😆 LOL
One of the best sounding mouthpieces yet. I'm a little surprised at the finish on it. It's really a negative in that department. Still, the sound speaks for the piece! Thanks for the demonstration
Sound is nice!
Just got this mouthpiece per your recommendation/review. It’s amazing for the price!
Using a 1 1/2 reed on it. It definitely has a very bright upper resister. Bright in general, with this reed. I’ll try something harder soon.
They might have learned from their mistake and now shipped it with the ligature over the plastic; no black stain.
And it’s a beautiful looking mpiece too. My first metal mp.
Thanks for review!
😀
Hey Adrien, thanks for your great videos. Have you got any experience with Guardala MB or MBII mouthpieces? Any insight on them? Cheers
If you have any of those originals, they are like the Mark VI of mouthpieces. They manufacturering specs were bought by Nadir and they make the official new ones. I was one my way to getting one before I quit cruise ships but they were around $650. I don't have any reviews on them...yet
Mí saludo cordial desde Cali valle Colombia. Sirvalorsax para preguntarte que saxofon y tudel plateado utilizas en el video, eres un buen saxofonista!!, siempre estoy mirando tus videos, muchas gracias por compartirlos son de mucha ayuda, soy saxofonista y luthier. un gran abrazo espero tu respuesta.
Would this be a suitable mouthpiece for a fairly new sax player?
I have the same mpc. It didn't have any of the stain on it. looks like the metal reacted with the plastic bag causing the stain on yours. Just curious, but what strength reed are you playing with it? I've been having good luck with a Medium Hard Jazz Select.
You should review the new DICKERSON RESONATOR ligature for alto sax sold on ebay
I have the same piece. I used white vinegar with baking soda to remove the stain. The ligature is useless because it keeps stretching. I think it is leather. However it is a great player as you demonstrated. I use it with electric groups in small venues where I play with no microphone because it is a brighter sound. I have the other 2 mouthpieces you also have, a 7 and and a 9.
These numbers are actually closer to a 5 and a 7. The silver is also smaller than a 9, maybe a 7 ,using Link measurements.
The low end bias you mentioned is more pronounced on the gold pieces. I used some 600 grit wet/dry on a plate of glass and
flattened the tables and that helped very much. The metal ligatures that came with the gold pieces also stretch. But they sound good and play good.
Thanks for the info
You really do cover some great stuff
They also do it in Brass or Gold colour
Thanks 😊
do you have link for mouthpiece? thx for the video
Where does this mouthpiece rank on your list?
Wich ligature should I buy for this mouthpiece, I like rovner's but don't know what size, maybe a soprano sax ligature fit's well on this tenor's mouthpiece?
Amazon synthetic reeds reviews please
Sir can you please play the metal mouth pirve aibay/ yibay on Alto. I would love to hear u play Alto. You have really helped me alot n i truly am greatful for u n your help. Thank you
Ok. I bought it. What the heck, $30, right? WITH LIGATURE! Played it. Hated it. PIcked it up again and dialed it in more...thought...ok...but, naaaah..... PIcked it up again, dialed it in some more and thought, record it to see what it sounds like.....and you know what? Damn...there is some real character in this cheap a$$ed mouthpiece. Sounds better than my Vandoren Metal V16 T75 to my ear. Playes easier. It has some quirks...but, damn....it sounds good and mostly feels good. Thanks for the review ...that led me to try this out.
You got two good audiences in background:-)
I got this mouthpiece all the black stuff came off with brasso I think you should try the Jody jazz jet it’s my main mouthpiece it’s really good!
I had one and sold it. I did a review on it though
@@Sirvalorsax rare you talking about the super jet or the jet? My favorite one is the jet not super jet
@@motivation89742 Ahh yeh, I misread that. I haven't tried the regular Jet. #1 on my JodyJazz list to try is the HR Dark for now though.
I just bought the gold version. It looks good and plays very well. It has a funky smell and taste though. I like it better than the mouthpiece I normally play, but I'm going to shelve it. I'm not conformable playing gigs with it, unless I can get rid of the odor.
that could be the lead in it
Soak it in vinegar or rubbing alcohol for a couple hours
Thanks. I soaked it in dish soap. That seemed to have done the trick.
You inspired me to buy and try the Yibuy mpc. Once it arrives and it turns out to be shit, at least it will give me some leverage with my wife to buy a Theo Wanne Durga IV. :-)
Lol
what would the 'protection' (silver plating) do? is it to protect your mouth/body from nickel poisoning?
From what ever this mouthpiece is made of
I've been living in China for quite a long time now and had a chance to try some of these cheap mouthpieces. They can be roughly devided to those, that are just copy pasted from the famous western models or to those that still copy the design, but add a little of their own style+ high precision making.
They are almost all made to be played easy for the amators, taking into consideration the fact, that the majority of hobby sax players in China are old people.
Do you know what this is made of or a way to find out?
@@Sirvalorsax To check the info I'll need the information in Chinese, cause the English name of the brand "yibuy" or whatever it is, might be completely different from the Chinese one. If there are any Chinese characters on the box, you can send me a photo and I'll try to check that for you. But, as you rightly mentioned, this might just be a mouthpiece blank, which was then changed a bit.
@@hendelyurii2559 I've had this for around a year so I no longer have the box.
Thanks for the repost. The session in the gallery was so good!
Thanks
Hi is There any mouthpiece for soprano that needs less airflow and easy to blow?and what should be the tip opening?Thanks for your time
Yamaha 4C or the Cannonball stock one
@@Sirvalorsax thank you 🙏
Adrienne, I'm curious... You look impressed about this mouthpiece, so I am. Why you never more talked about it? You talked about the one you silver plated, but I didn't like the result... I loved the sound of the one you gold plated!!
I have already bought this one and I'm waiting. I'm eager!!!
This is a different mouthpiece than the other Yibuy mpc. There is no information about what this mpc is made from so I limited my reviews on it until more info becomes available or if I decide to get it plated
@@Sirvalorsax Ok... Got it! But don't plate it. It's perfect!!
One of the guys here suggested take it to a jewelry man and make a test.
Well... Finally mine arrived. No stain. I have not try it yet. Adrienne... I need to talk to you about it... Please
They take about 3 weeks to arrive
@@Sirvalorsax Hey... I came to make a correction on a message I have just written and the message was erased... I don't understand... I'll try again anyway. I bought the mouthpiece through Amazon Prime and I got it in 3 days.
@@nelsongonzalez450 I guess they had some in stock. All the Chinese mpc's that I bought from Amazon took at least 3 weeks to arrive. I'm glad that you didn't have the staining problem that I did.
I want to thank you about yibay n Aibay mouth pieces i brouht Aibay#7for my alto n the yibay 7,9 for my Tenor . To give my Otto link n Selmer mouth piece a break. Could u plz give more demo playing on the alto sax since i just picked up alto again.
I haven't tried on on alto yet
Be careful with Noxon my dad told me it is to strong the Wright silver cream at Walmart is safe n better
How you get that altissimo so seamless? And like I thought I was pretty decent at it I just got HUMBLED *indefinitely*
Be sure to check out my videos on embouchure. I focus on this in my lesson books for sound development and altissimo
Несмотря на все погрешности при изготовлении,мундштук звучит, и звучит хорошо!
The stain is likely from the sulphur in the rubber in the lig.
Silver dip or polish should work.
The lig was OUTSIDE of the bag . LMAO
@@bxsoup and that was probably because the boss man recognized the problem told him to change the way the package that so they changed with the packages but didn't correct the damage before the change. subsequent ones would likely have lig on the outside of the bag and no stain. If you have a glass dish and put aluminum foil in the glass dish filled with boiling hot water generous amount of baking soda and maybe a tablespoon of salt and place the mouthpiece in that solution touching the aluminum foil that stain should disappear almost instantly
It's the lig. You can see the outline of it on the mouthpiece. TarnX
In really hot climates in south Philippines the hard rubber mouthpieces table go out of flat and play like crap.Metal stays flat..Its bad enough the reeds need to come off even in a 10 min break from playing.
Have you checked these mpcs for radiation? :)
The value coming out of China in musical manufacture is mind blowing. No better time to be starting out.
True , BUT I'm not putting it in my mouth !
Not to be confused with Taiwan who produce some excellent horns. I have a Soprano and an Alto. Been blowing the Elkhart II Alto ten years, really well built.
@@derekakien7379 You don't put a saxophone in your mouth . You put a MOUTHPIECE in your mouth . The only concern with body tube material would depend on a person's body chemistry . Same holds true for unlacquered horns , some people can't tolerate raw brass or bronze . I am ONLY saying I would not put a mouthpiece made in China in my mouth . ( Provided I know it's made in China ) .
@@bxsoup You don't lick your saxophone?
@@isaiahd9947 Nope
Flitz metal polish should take the stain out.
The 30$ unicorn 🦄 🔥
LOL
Hi, i'm looking for a ligature that Will help my sound to become more dark And sweet And airy.... Not funky And Metallic. Wich one could you advise me ? Thanks
How does the 9 tip opening compare to standard 9’s?
It's smaller for this mouthpiece. Feels like a 6* or a 7
спасибо тебе за обзор дешёвых китайских мундштуков.теперь я точно куплю себе на АЛИ. что-то подобное .а раньше сомневался в их качестве.при уровне жизни в нашей стране это отличная цена.
Idk man, looked pretty scary. There’s a lot of cheap guitars getting shipped from over there that sometimes are pretty good, but seem to have some kind of gunk on them. I have a Squire Limited Edition Tele that was so good after cleaning and setup that it was a worthy addition to my small collection of playable electrics, but it cost me as much in labor as the $180 I paid for it. Luckily I knew how to take care of it myself. Idk how they could make something so good and inexpensive, and ship it so dirty. It’s like giving you the finger for trying to be frugal. We are frugal so that we maximize our purchasing power. There are so many items to buy and not enough money to go around.
Good point
I'm very scared of metal mouth piece. I was a young man in highschool in the 1970s I bought a Burke Lawson metal Mouth piece top-of-the-line because all the older kids was using them on their saxophone. I paid some good money for that mouthpiece back then. Man it sounded good. Till I notice I kept getting a sore throat. So I told my grandmother what was happening to me. She told me a story I will never forget about a young man she grew up with who had play trumpet he blew the trumpet with a brass mouthpiece he was all the time very sick he went to the doctor the doctor told him the brass was poisoning his system. The doctor told him he needed to change it to a solid gold mouth piece. He got well after that. I really loved my Burg Lawson mouth piece I was so sick that the doctor wanted to take my tonsils out. it had a sound that could cut through steel lol
I end up giving it away I didn't even ask anybody money for it . Since then I've never suffered with my tonsil ever again. I found out the mouth piece only had a silver Coating the core of the mouthpiece is made out of brass which leech through the silver Coating. Brass is poisonous to our body's. Did y'all ever hear of brass knuckles. Lol
As a young aspiring jazz saxophonist, seems a bit ironic to worry about what a mouth piece is made of. you know, with the stereotypical cocaine and alcoholism needed to be a jazz saxophonist.. (jokes)
this Yamaha 5 is just way too dull for me,.
30 dollars. ..undoubtedly machine made....so why are the big names taking ridiculous profits?
Last cash grab before everyone 3d prints?
