Lawton 7 Star BB Alto Mouthpiece MPC232

Description

This is a vintage gold-plated Geoff Lawton alto mouthpiece that is perfect for smooth jazz alto or Rock&Roll / R&B alto where you want that brassy, screaming alto tone. The cool features of a Lawton are the large bullet chamber (so it tunes well on a range of altos, and maintains some warmth) and the carefully done high slant baffle to give you the cut and projection you want. The ligature workmanship is also satisfying. You can slide the lig around on rails and tighten it just how you want. This piece measures .084″ which will give you as much volume as you need. The bite plate area is filled with a clear resin where the original bite plate fell off. It works just fine. The oval shaped are of plating on the table shows where the table is designed to accommodate your reed’s natural expansion when it gets wet. This is an important feature if you are not in the habit of scraping your reeds in this are to level them because it greatly improves reed consistency and response.
