Metalite: the accessible "metal" spirit
The Metalite mouthpieces were designed to capture the sonic aesthetic of a metal mouthpiece while remaining more affordable. A relevant choice for musicians seeking an expressive and direct mouthpiece without radically changing their usual setup.
For which musician and styles?
This mouthpiece is particularly aimed at saxophonists and clarinetists (depending on the model) oriented towards jazz, but it also suits contemporary music whenever projection and a clear response are desired. The different openings make it suitable for intermediate to advanced levels.
Sound and design
With its medium/small chamber, the Metalite emphasizes a bright timbre, good projection, and easy response. The choice of opening directly influences the feeling of resistance: the larger the opening, the more the sound can gain in fullness (at the cost of higher demands on air support and the reed).
