A saxophone mouthpiece is provided, comprising a main body. The main body includes an assembling portion and a mouthpiece portion. The mouthpiece portion defines a front end and a rear end relative to each other, and the rear end is connected with the assembling portion. One side of the mouthpiece portion has a window disposed thereon and is configured to be pressed against by a reed, and another side of the mouthpiece portion has a baffle disposed thereon. Two opposite sides of the window have two side rails facing outwardly, and each of the two side rails includes a first arcuate convex segment, a non-arcuate convex segment and a second arcuate convex segment arranged sequentially from the front end toward the rear end. Therefore, a reed arranged on the saxophone mouthpiece can be vibrated smoothly to produce expected tone and scale.

Accessory weights and kits for brass instruments to reduce sympathetic vibration of a brass instrument having an instrument neck directed towards the instrument at a first end and connected to a mouthpiece at a second end; wherein the connection of the mouthpiece to the neck second end can be by a friction fit of a cork sleeve having a collar fixed to an outer surface of the neck second end; and a weight connected to the neck second end also by a friction fit to cork sleeve, wherein sympathetic vibration of a brass instrument is reduced while in use by between 10 and 50 percent.

A saxophone neck system uses interchangeable component parts to modify and optimize sound and resistance. The saxophone neck system may allow a saxophone player the ability to change components to achieve variations in sound and to use the components with various manufacturers' instruments and mouthpieces. With the use of various internal shapes and dimensions placed in a specific combination, the player can create a desired sound. Additionally, the saxophone neck system may eliminate neck cork compression discrepancies from different manufacturers by offering different diameters of the body of the initiator portion of the saxophone neck system to fit any saxophone mouthpiece.

Apparatus for enhancing tunes produced out of single-reed wind music instrument are disclosed. Apparatus comprise one or more sound enhancing elements in form of a plurality of elongated ribs or grooves, or one or more studs affixed to a reed's table side. Patterns of the elongated ribs/grooves can be straight or wavy lines orientated in longitudinal, transverse or oblique direction with respect to the reed. Each stud contains a three-dimensional (3-D) geometric shape portion for altering sounds produced out of a single-reed wind music instrument when played by a player, and a base of the 3-D geometric shape portion for affixing the stud to the table side of a reed in an area directly opposite to the heart of the reed. Dimensions of the area are single-reed wind music instrument dependent.
