In this new era, Meyer hard rubber mouthpieces are built through a process that combines JJ Babbitt’s proprietary rubber formulation, molding, and vulcanization with modern precision and tighter process control through our manufacturing partnership with Theo Wanne Mouthpieces. The tonal foundation begins with the material itself, not with pre-vulcanized bar stock, because the way Meyer’s hard rubber is created is part of what gives it its unmistakable core. From there, precision machining and informed finishing ensure the mouthpiece you pick up reflects the Meyer you expect.
Classic Sound, Modern Confidence.
For generations, Meyer has been the benchmark for saxophonists seeking a rare balance: warmth and clarity, flexibility and control, tradition and range. It’s our best-selling mouthpiece for a reason. Meyer doesn’t force you into a narrow sound, it gives you a centered tonal core and the freedom to shape it into your own voice, whether you’re blending in a section, leading a small ensemble, or stepping forward as a soloist.
But the Meyer story isn’t only about what the design can do. It’s also about how reliably that design is delivered.
The Icon of Alto Jazz Mouthpieces.
Meyer is known for a warm, rich tonal core that stays clear under articulation and remains flexible across a wide dynamic range. Notes speak easily, articulation stays defined without becoming edgy, and the sound retains its body and center as volume and intensity increase. This balance allows players to move fluidly between subtle phrasing and more assertive playing without the mouthpiece feeling limiting or unstable.
Its classic chamber design and carefully balanced resistance profile create a responsive feel that supports both nuance and projection. The mouthpiece offers just enough resistance to provide control and focus, while remaining free-blowing enough to encourage a natural, unforced response. That combination has made Meyer a favorite among alto saxophonists in particular, while its versatility allows it to adapt comfortably to a wide range of styles, ensembles, and musical settings.
From advancing students developing their sound to seasoned professionals refining it, Meyer continues to be the mouthpiece players trust when they want a true jazz voice with room for personal expression, growth, and musical identity.
Meyer has always been an icon. Now it’s an icon delivered with a new level of consistency and confidence, without losing the character that made it legendary.
