Pretty Good
I mainly play tenor and haven't enough facility on alto to give an authoritative, in depth review of this mouthpiece.
But I can say that it is a huge step up from the stock mouthpiece that came with my alto. The sound is warm and dark but easily capable of brightness. I sense no issues with production of altissimo or subtone. Response is fantastic. I still don't sound like Cannonball Adderley - but can't blame the mouthpiece.
Two points deducted in terms of quality - 1 / the side rails are visibly unequal in thickness (does that make a difference? - probably but beyond my capacity to judge) 2/ as so many reviewers have noted, the ligature is poor. This is not just a matter of it being a bog-standard twin-screw brass design - that, in itself, need not be an issue - the problem is that the screws do not always tighten smoothly.
So buy this mouthpiece but factor in getting a quality ligature. I've been using a Vandoren Optimum and the improvement in sound and response over the supplied lig is striking
