Buying options:

Designed in the 1980's by the world's leading mouthpiece designer Arnold Brilhart, the Graftonite line of mouthpieces incorporates revolutionary materials to achieve ease of tone production with a wide range of tonal colours.

The facing or tip opening is the measured gap between the tip of the mouthpiece and the reed and changes the resistance of the mouthpiece:

Open facing: The reed is further from the tip of the mouthpiece. This creates more resistance. A lower strength reed is recommended to allow the reed more space to vibrate.

Close facing: The reed is closer to the tip of the mouthpiece creating less resistance. A stronger reed is recommended allowing the reed to vibrate in a smaller amount of space.

Medium facing is a compromise between the two.

Mr Sharp 02/03/2012 11:32 Weybridge, United Kingdom Beginner	1 out of 1 found the following review helpful Greta sound, great value Pros: Both the A5and A6 mouthpieces are very good and particularly good value for money. The A5 plays almost as well as the Otto Link mouthpiece I have had for years (and was three times the price). Cons: Nothing at all Other: I was surprised that the A5 plays better than theA7.

Mr Sharp 10/11/2011 17:47 Weybridge, United Kingdom Keen Amateur	1 out of 1 found the following review helpful Great mouthpieces Pros: Both the A5 and A7 mouthpieces are very good; both play freely and enable me to hit those low notes that I like so much. Surprisingly the A5 performs slightly better than the A7.Neither is yet quite as good as the Otto Link 7 star that I have been playing for years, but they come close - and the price is extremely attractive! I wish I had found them years ago. Cons: Nothing Other: Terrific value for money Delivery service was excellent Did you find this review helpful? Yes No
Martyn 08/10/2011 11:13 SWANSEA, United Kingdom Keen Amateur	1 out of 1 found the following review helpful Excellent contemporary sound - bargain price Pros: Surprisingly good mouthpiece. I wanted something which would do well playing Funk and similar. Good, incisive sound, without any excessive brightness - has edge, and an excellent sound! I have a Vandoren Java T55 and it is at least its equal. Cons: None - easy to play and reed friendly. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No
