Yardbird Model HR Alto
$299.00
Hand finished in polished German ebonite (hard rubber), this is the same core design as our acclaimed brass Yardbird model, but with that extra warmth and reed flexibility that hard rubber is known for. It has that same power and “pop” as the brass but a bit more “reed friendly” and accommodates a normal HR alto ligature (included).
Remember, fulfillment time for any of our mouthpieces is up to 4 weeks.

Jason –
This is such a great mouthpiece. The metal Yardbird is my main m/piece, but I wanted to try the HR, potentially as a back-up m/piece. Given the amazing price, it was a no-brainer. It definitely has the same presence and signature sound as the metal Yardbird but a more solid core (to my ears). I discovered this is not a ‘back-up mouthpiece’ it’s every bit as good as the metal Yardbird, just a different dynamic to an already great design. I’m glad I own both version. If you haven’t tried one of the Yardbird models then I recommend either!
