Source: http:\/\/store.daddario.com<\/h6>\n<p>Now this is the one that I think will cause the most talk, and what most people are waiting for. The original Metalite pieces for baritone were the most talked about, and the most sought after.\u00a0Over the past number of years,\u00a0original bari Metalites were selling for over $100 on eBay.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These new Metalite baritone pieces are <a href=\"http:\/\/store.daddario.com\/category\/296552\/Metalite_Mouthpieces\" target=\"_blank\">available in 3 facings<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Metalite Mouthpieces Baritone Sax- #M5<\/li>\n<li>Metalite Mouthpieces Baritone Sax- #M7<\/li>\n<li>Metalite Mouthpieces Baritone Sax- #M9<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, no tip opening or facing size was provided by Rico.<\/p>\n<p>The cost \u00a0of the Metalite baritone mouthpiece is $29.00, which is $8.00 more than its Graftonite cousin.<\/p>\n<p>The original Metalites were grey in colour. My baritone and alto pieces have a pebbly finish, while the one for my tenor is smooth. From the photos that Rico provides, the new pieces appear almost dark grey or black, with a pebbly finish. But are they really? And more importantly: How do they play? Are they the same as what they once were?<\/p>\n<p>Well, SOTW has some of the most committed Metalite fans you will find anywhere, and you don&#8217;t have to search too hard to find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saxontheweb.net\/vbulletin\/showthread.php?t=61067&amp;page=10\" target=\"_blank\">a thread that has updated information<\/a> on the new Metalites. Here are a few quotes from one of the players\u00a0who has received\u00a0his new Metalites:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I just received my Metalite tenor pieces from D&#8217;Addario. They appear identical to the old ones but just have the name RICO on them. They are shiny finish and are grey in color. The baffle design appears identical to the old ones. There is no info on actual tip sizes. On the box (they are in new boxes also) it just states:#3 Medium (feels less resistant-works with harder reeds) #5 Medium Open (adds more resistance-works with medium softer reeds) #7 Open (most resistant-works with softer reeds). What is really strange is that I ordered a M7 and M9 and received mouthpieces marked M7 and M9 in new boxes also marked M7 and M9 but the boxes only give info for 3,\u00a05, and 7. They do look identical to the old ones except for finish (shiny) and just the name Rico on them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I just played my two new Metalites for tenor, a M7 and M9. I could be happy with either one. They seem to play just like the old ones (although I never tried an old M11). They seem to have got it right with duplicating the old design. For the money you can&#8217;t go wrong but you have to like the feel of a bigger piece. These new ones feel like a Graftonite but play like a Metalite, that is the best that I can describe them. I didn&#8217;t notice a drastic difference between the 7 and 9, the 9 maybe being a tad fuller and louder. I played both with a number 3 Rico royal and a metal lig. To my ears they sound like a good full metal mouthpiece.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>I just received an e-mail from D&#8217;Addario with respect to my question on the info on the new boxes and tip openings [snip]. I was informed that there is a misprint on the new tenor boxes . The only available tip openings on the new Metalites are 5, 7, and 9 for tenor and bari and 5 and 7 for soprano. The tip sizes for tenor are 5 is .095&#8243;, 7 is .105&#8243;, and 9 is .115&#8243;. This is all the info I received so it seems like the openings are like the old ones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It appears that D&#8217;Addario will not ship outside the USA, so if you live outside the States I guess it&#8217;s: <em>Sorry &#8217;bout your luck<\/em>. D&#8217;Addario tells you to talk to your local music store about having them do a special order for you.<\/p>\n<p>It also seems that\u00a0Rico has\u00a0run out of baritone pieces in all 3 sizes already. It appears that they seriously underestimated the popularity of their Metalite line&#8230; Again&#8230; Oh well, hopefully they will get some manufactured soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in the Rico Metalite mouthpiece, keep an eye on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saxontheweb.net\/vbulletin\/showthread.php?t=61067&amp;page=10\" target=\"_blank\">this SOTW thread<\/a>.
