Alto Sax
What are some good ligatures and mouthpieces for alto sax?

I’ve played the alto sax for 7 years now and I’m just playing with the mouthpiece and ligature my sax came with (bought a new one last year). I was wondering if anybody knew what a good set up would be? I play quite a bit of classical music, but I also enjoy playing jazz. I have a Yamaha YAS-62II Mark II Alto Saxophone, silver plated, so it has a lighter tone to it.

There are tons of options. Mouthpieces and ligatures are very much a personal choice because YOU are the majority of the sound generation. What works for me may (and probably) won’t work for you. Also, what are you going for tone wise? Mouthpieces and ligatures just modify it. If you are really interested in a new mouthpiece and ligature, go to as many music stores as you can possibly go to and play every single mouthpiece, even if it is the same make/model of mouthpiece because each one is different.
