Lead Alto Mouthpiece

I'm looking for a mouthpiece that would be great for lead alto. Right now I am playing on a selmer series III, probably getting a ref. 54 soon, and a Dukoff D8 with LaVoz Reeds. Its got a sound I like but I dont want to be too bright and stick out, so what would be a good mouthpiece thats good for lead alto and blend in?

    Stay away from metal mouthpieces on alto. I have a Selmer metal 6. but only for rock. I recommend a Meyer hard rubber mouthpiece. I have a Meyer vintage 5 and a Richie Cole 5. La Voz is a good reed. I favor Vandoren traditional reeds, but it's futile if you don't hand pick them. Tear it up :)

      Try an Otto Link Tone Edge
