The Rousseau 3.0 Classic R Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The Original Rousseau since 1972 ì Warm Dark Sound.

The Classic R Series Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece is the original E. Rousseau design, first introduced in 1972. When Dr. Rousseau couldnôt find any commercially available saxophone mouthpieces on the market to recommend to his classical students he decided to try and design his own mouthpiece. The R Series Saxophone mouthpieces were inspired by a mouthpiece that Marcel Mule gave Dr. Rousseau in 1961. The Classic R Series is designed to meet the needs of the serious classical performer. These mouthpieces provide a warm, centered tone, positive response, and powerful projection with medium resistance and solid control.

What makes the Classic R Alto Better for Concert Band, Saxophone Quartet, Orchestra and Solos?

Intonation, darkness of sound and excellent blending capability of the Classic R series are the qualities that make it a favorite of band directors.The R Series was designed by Eugene Rousseau, one of the most significant players and teachers of saxophone for the past fifty years. Rousseau is not only one of the worldôs finest classical players and a most prominent teacher; he also learned about woodwind acoustics and design from Charles Houvenaghel, regarded at that time as the greatest acoustician since Adolph Sax.

This Classic R Alto saxophone mouthpiece provides for superior tone, responsiveness, and projection. It promotes a full range of tonal colors and excellent tonal center. The Classic R is designed for natural reed fit and easier tuning. The Classic R Series is available for Alto, Tenor and Baritone saxophone and can provide a consistent tonal base for the entire saxophone section and small ensembles.

    "Bought a very beautiful pair of Uebel Zenit clarinets from Accent. Yue Se is a clarinetist himself and extremely knowledgeable, provided many excellent recommendations. Words can’t do enough justice to how beautiful the clarinets are!"

    Beebe C.

    "The shop provides a large range of varieties. We spent very pleasant two hours in it and bought a Yamaha YSL-882OII that is out of stock everywhere in Singapore, a beautiful saxophone and other accessories that we needed. Great thanks to the shop owner who patiently allowed us to try so that we could take our time to make decisions. Highly recommended!"
