A well-made Guy Hawkins metal alto saxophone mouthpiece in size 5, offering the bright, focused, and highly responsive playing characteristics that have made these pieces a favorite among players seeking projection and modern edge. Manufactured with precise machining and a performance-oriented internal design, Guy Hawkins metal mouthpieces are known for producing a lively, immediate response with excellent clarity and presence.

The 5 facing provides a comfortable and efficient setup, offering easy articulation, strong center, and fast response across the full range of the instrument. Tonally, this piece leans toward the brighter side of the spectrum, delivering crisp attack, strong projection, and a compact focused core while retaining enough body to avoid sounding thin or overly harsh. It is especially well suited for lead alto work, commercial playing, funk, pop, and other settings where presence and projection matter.

Condition is very good overall, showing honest cosmetic wear consistent with regular use, including light finish wear and surface marks to the body. The tip and rails appear clean with no visible chips or damage, and a protective bite patch has been installed on the beak. A complete and appealing option for players seeking a solid modern metal alto mouthpiece with excellent projection and lively response.
