It’s a decent mouthpiece to have as a spare, or for experimenting with reshaping. But otherwise nothing special.

I got this mouthpiece and it works amazing I’ve played with a 2.5 cane reed (Vandoren) and a 2.5 synthetic reed (Légère Signature) and it’s been amazing I can hit my lows and climb into the altissimo range easily. Tone is amazing it has a nice, full, and warm tone in my opinion and I run out of breath less with it. The only problem is that I cannot find a mouthpiece that fits it. I’ve tried and returned so many that at this point I’m just going to get a different mouthpiece. I’ve been resorting to using a slightly bigger ligature and then using paper to fill the extra space for a tight seal. Other than that I’d recommend, it’s worth its price.

Good for a starter low cost mouthpiece. This also works as a low cost placeholder for time to look for another mouthpiece.

I know mouthpiece preferences are personal, if not subjective, but I have noticed an appreciable enhancement of sound quality since I started using this. B5 is admittedly quite middle of the road (I use medium strength reeds) and people who want a darker or brighter sound will probably be better using mouthpieces with more extreme openings, but I am satisfied with this, and probably will be for some time.

I have one of these for each of my saxes as a backup. I have also performed on these and they do offer a great sound. I would highly recommend these to any student who wants a great mouthpiece at a great price!

Decent mouthpiece at a VERY reasonable price. I like it... for a sax player who doesn't have a lot to spend on a fun hobby, these Rico mouthpieces fill a niche for folks who want to own various mouthpiece sizes without breaking the bank.

This is a very nice part. New and functional. Great price. I ended up getting a C5, also. I seemed to run out of breath playing the B7. You may want to check for a different Rico if you are a beginner. They are affordable mouth pieces and seem to do a serviceable job job.

This is a great mouthpiece. I use it on my Yanigasawa bari and I think the sound is superior to the stock Yani mouthpiece. There are no range limitations and the tone is excellent. Just remember - you're buying the mouthpiece WITHOUT ligature. Not just any ligature will do - you'll need a Rico Royal bari ligature which has special crimping to exactly fit only this mp. (the barrel has a unique shape). My La Voz reeds tend to allow a little air around the sides (vice my Otto Link), so my ombisure has to be just right. Not difficult though and the result is a very playable mp.
