The Claude Lakey Original Alto is the classic vintage sax mouthpiece that helped define the saxophone sound through the '60s, '70s, and '80s. That original design remains wildly popular with sax players to this day, including many here at Sweetwater. The Claude Lakey Original is powerful and bright, and perfect for many styles including jazz, big band, funk, and more. It's handmade from high-quality composite plastic, and features a free-blowing chamber design that's easy to play. Arm yourself with the Original Alto and you'll discover a crisp sound that helps you stand out at any gig!
Before leaving his mark on the music industry, Claude Lakey was a professional saxophonist who performed with and conducted many all-time great big bands, including the Glen Miller Orchestra, the Benny Goodman Orchestra, and the One O'Clock Lab Band. Never satisfied with the mouthpieces of his time, Claude eventually designed his own that met his lofty standards. Since then, generations of saxophone players have shaped their sound using his mouthpieces. Pick up your Claude Lakey mouthpiece from Sweetwater and prepare to be inspired by a new tonal spectrum!
