Yamaha SS-5CM Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece

Yamaha SS-5CM Custom Series Soprano Saxophone Mouthpiece

The Yamaha SS-5CM is a Custom Series soprano saxophone mouthpiece built for players who have moved beyond beginner setups and want more control over their sound. Its tight .051" tip opening pairs naturally with stiffer reeds, giving experienced soprano saxophonists the resistance needed for precise articulation on fast passages and high-register work. The mouthpiece is sculpted from choice hard-rubber ebonite, a material Yamaha's artisans shape by hand from the initial blank through to the final facing, ensuring each piece meets the brand's strict quality standards.

Hard-rubber ebonite gives the SS-5CM a warm, rich tone with crystalline clarity — a sound profile that works equally well for classical solo repertoire and ensemble playing where blending matters. Compared to brighter plastic mouthpieces, the ebonite construction adds depth and roundness to the soprano's naturally penetrating voice, helping lower notes speak clearly and upper notes stay focused without becoming harsh.
