Claude Lakey Original Composite Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece - 7*3

The Original Alto is THE Claude Lakey vintage mouthpiece. Ideal for lead alto, yet versatile enough to blend in with any horn section, our most popular mouthpiece offers a bright and even sound that can be heard across the auditorium.

Great for jazz, but not to be overlooked for rock, funk, or electronic music— the Originals are meant to make you heard in solo and ensemble work.

The Original Alto is where it all started, and it has remained the central piece of our Originals collection for more than half a century. Claude handcrafted the Original Alto design himself when he was unsatisfied with any molds available to him. His innovations pioneered a better Jazz mouthpiece: the same one we are still making today.

Claude created the Original Alto as a jazz piece, but its bright sound and great projection make it the perfect choice for a variety of genres. We find it’s particularly stunning in rock groups, funk bands, and house music. You’ll find the Original Alto gives you the ability to stand out above the crowd, or blend into an ensemble. You will reach new highs and lows, having freedom in your upper and lower register. The versatility of this piece is outstanding, and you will soon find it becomes a favorite to play in several settings. Rovner ligature option also available…see below.
