Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece Review

October 5, 2022 by Steve 9 Comments

Today, I am reviewing the new Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece.  The 56 Select alto sax mouthpiece is advertised as capturing the warmth and singing quality of the 1950’s “cool school” of alto saxophone playing in the style of Art Pepper, Bud Shank and Paul Desmond.  As someone who listened to a ton of Art Pepper and Paul Desmond when I was in high school (they had a lot of their records at the local library), I was very curious to try this 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece by Windy City Woodwinds just to see how “cool” it really was………

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The Windy City 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece is made in partnership with Windy City Woodwinds and Theo Wanne mouthpieces.  Here is a short description of the 56 Select mouthpiece from the Windy City Woodwinds website:

Vintage soul meets the modern age. Designed in collaboration with Dr. Wally Wallace, The 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece captures the warmth and singing quality of the 1950s “cool school,” combining retro-cues with cutting edge technology. 1956 was an amazing year for jazz. The emerging west coast “cool school” was reinventing the jazz aesthetic and redefining saxophone tone. Records from Art Pepper, Bud Shank and Paul Desmond revealed the power and romanticism of the alto saxophone, captivating a new generation of jazz listeners. The 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece will feature: A gentle rollover baffle that improves response and projection. Straight side walls that extend from a medium chamber, giving added core to your sound. Developed and finished in partnership with Theo Wanne. The 56 Select is made from premium German hard rubber, precision milled on Theo’s state of the art 5-Axis CNC machine. 

The latest iteration of the “56” (both Select and Mark II mouthpieces) were further refined in collaboration with Theo Wanne and Dr. Wally Wallace. Theo Wanne was able to take the design of the original “56” mouthpiece to a new level using his years of facing experience. He was able to keep the integrity of the original design, but simply allow more air to pass making it a more powerful mouthpiece and stronger across the dynamic range that the original “56” provided.

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

I received two 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpieces from Windy City Woodwinds. One was the “56 Select” alto sax mouthpiece that is made of hard rubber and the other was a white 3-D printed “56 Mark II” alto saxophone mouthpiece that has the same design but is almost a third of the price of the hard rubber 56 Select model.  Both have a tip opening of .075.  *I will be reviewing the less expensive 3-D printed 56 Mark II alto sax mouthpiece in a separate review.

Both mouthpieces came well packaged in sturdy white cardboard boxes with “Windy City Woodwinds and the mouthpiece details listed on the outside of each box.  Inside the box, the mouthpieces were well protected with a thick cushion of styrofoam on all sides.

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The Windy City 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece looked great as you would expect a mouthpiece to look when made in collaboration with Theo Wanne.  The mouthpiece is made with premium German hard rubber and has a gold band around the shank that has “Theo Wanne Classic Mouthpieces” engraved into it.  The side of the 56 Select mouthpiece has “56” engraved into the hard rubber and the other side of the mouthpiece has the tip opening of 75 and Select engraved next to the table. The top of the 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece has the Windy City Winds logo of “WCW” engraved in gold.

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece has a perfect looking table, rails, tip and baffle profile.  All these elements look even, symmetrical  and beautifully machined.  The tip rail is nice and thin as are the side rails as they head towards the tip.

The baffle is what I would describe as a long gentle rollover baffle.  It looks to be a medium high baffle and its long roll extends all the way to the rear of the medium sized mouthpiece chamber. The opening at the rear of the chamber into the bore has what I would describe as a “horseshoe” shape to it.  This entrance to the bore has a long gradual squeeze because the sidewalls are straight and angle in towards the sides of the “horseshoe” shaped exit to the chamber.

The roof of the chamber is thin where it starts next to the window but then thickens substantially as it heads through the chamber towards the top of the horseshoe.

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The Windy City 56 Select alto sax mouthpiece played perfectly with the first reed I chose to put on it which was a Rigotti Gold 3 light alto saxophone reed.  I also tried a Boston Sax Shop #3 alto saxophone reed as well as a Roberto’s Winds 3 soft alto saxophone reed and they all played great on the 56 Select mouthpiece. All the alto saxophone reeds lined up perfectly with the curved shape of the mouthpiece tip rail.

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The Windy City 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece had a very cool vibe to it that I really loved.  Dr Wally Wallace describes it as a “cool school” sound and I definitely get that impression from it.  I’ve read a few comments on the 56 Select mouthpiece describing it as “dark”, and I can agree that the 56 Select mouthpiece is darker than many alto mouthpiece out there, but I found the 56 Select alto sax mouthpiece to be rich and complex in tone while being light and incredibly beautiful sounding.  Rather than being described as “dark”, I found it to have a light brightness to the tone reminiscent of Paul Desmond and also Art Pepper (I’m listening to Art Pepper meets The Rhythm Section right now as I type this).

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

I also found the 56 Select tone to have a crispness to it that I really loved. The high notes were crisp and singing.  The tone was focused which made the vibrato very tangible and colorful in my opinion.  I loved the lightness of tone of this mouthpiece which is most definitely “cool”.  So many mouthpieces these days are fighting for the top spot for power and brightness and here comes strolling along the Windy City 56 Select alto mouthpiece being all light, crisp and beautifully flirtatious.  Is that not that the definition of “cool”?

The other side highlight of this crispness in tone is the articulation of the 56 Select.  The 56 Select alto sax mouthpiece articulated very cleanly and crisply BUT at the same time very smoothly.  I keep coming back to that “cool school” description and can’t help but think that the 56 Select alto sax mouthpiece is so cool, that it can articulate incredibly cleanly and crisply while still being so incredibly smooth while doing it.  It’s like imagining someone playing pool while simultaneously drinking a martini and still looking cool doing it.  Can’t be done, you say.  Well, maybe you are just not cool enough……. Yeah, that is “cool school”.

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The intonation on the Windy City 56 Select alto sax mouthpiece was excellent and the range of the horn was even and uniform from note to note making playing fast lines very smooth and even.

The other aspect of the 56 Select that I really appreciated was how focused it sounds.  It is light in tone, but that tone is beautifully focused.  I think this has to do with that horseshoe shaped opening and how the air is funneled into that smaller opening in a squeeze that occurs from the top, bottom and side walls.  I like to imagine the sound being compressed and focused as the player blows.  This tight ball of sound is somehow both focused and concentrated, yet also light and floating.

Right now, as I type this, I am listening to the sound clip below and I really think the windy City 56 Select sounds amazing on this clip (Yes, I’m biased…..).  I could point out so many places in the sound clip where my first thought is “Wow, beautiful!”.

Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

In my opinion, the Windy City 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece is a great hard rubber alto saxophone mouthpiece for those looking for an alto saxophone tone with a light, singing resonance to it that is full of rich overtones and beautiful harmonics that the listener can’t help but be mesmerized by.

I’m pretty sure Art Pepper and Paul Desmond would totally dig this mouthpiece.   I can’t guarantee it, but I’m thinking the 56 Select alto sax mouthpiece would be right up their alley if they were still alive.

Great job to Dr. Wally Wallace, Kevin Braner, Matt Braner and Neil Xu at Windy City Winds, as well as Theo Wanne for developing and creating a very “cool” sounding alto saxophone mouthpiece.

If you like the sound and look of the  Windy City 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece, you can find them for sale at the Windy City website.  After you check out my sound clip below, check out Dr. Wally Wallace’s informative video on the 56 Select mouthpiece below.  Dr. Wallace captures the many descriptive words in my review so well at the 4:43 mark in the video.

If you are lucky enough to play a Windy City 56 Select alto saxophone mouthpiece or have any other thoughts or comments, I would love to hear what you think in the comments below.    Thanks,   Steve

Video of Dr. Wally Wallace demonstrating the Windy City Woodwinds 56 Select Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece. I especially love the sweet alto sax tone at the 4:43 mark in the video! So beautiful!

Disclosure: I received the sample mouthpieces reviewed above for free in the hope that I would try it and perhaps review it on my blog.  Regardless, I only review sax mouthpieces that I enjoy playing and believe will be good for other saxophone players to try also. Steve

    That sound!! I have the original 3D printed one. It’s my favorite. I would be curious to try these newer ones as well. That’s the best sound for alto saxophone in my opinion. I’ve never been a fan of the bright powerful pop players. Cannonball is bright enough for me on a Meyer.

    Beautiful sound and excellent playing as always. I know you haven’t reviewed the Mark II version yet, but that is the one I am planning on ordering as it fits my budget. Hoping I can get similar results.

    Wow Steve, you sound great on that thing. Have you ever played a Gregory (MC Gregory) mouthpiece? I had one long ago that broke, and I’ve never found a replacement, though I’m incredibly happy with my 10MFan Alto Madness. This is the first time I’ve been tempted to buy a new mouthpiece for a long time. And you are right about Dr. Wally’s playing at 4:43 – echoes of Desmond!

Hello Steve,

I have not received my alto yet but have already gone through 14 lessons. I love your approach, style, knowledge and competence. I now regret so much to have stayed away from playing the sax for the past 45-50 years…(I am 65).  But It is never too late to get back to your first love. After 23 years in compuer sciences and 22 years in finances…I am now back to music for the rest of my life.

Doing some research on the net, I found this:

Steve’s monthly lessons are entirely valuable. Without brow beating, he tells you all the stuff you deep down know you really should be working on, instead of just relying on the same old patterns. In spite of the fact that you’re taking a video lesson, Steve’s presentation is comfortable and “real”. In a little more than a year, he’s developed a library of lessons that seem to offer any player a lifetime’s worth of practice material. I’m just glad I stumbled upon it.… Read more

Hey Steve! I hope you and your family are well.  I’m just writing to say thank you so much for all the resources you have made available to the saxophone community. I have been using your material for many years and I always come back to it… in fact I just took a break from practicing to write this…( reviewing “CreatingModern II-V-I Lines with simple pentatonics”.) I am, and continue to be, one of your raving fans! Blessings to you and your family this holiday season! Wishing… Read more

For anyone living in remote areas away from live jazz sax teachers, Neff is the way to go. In fact this is a great resource for anyone seriously interested in mastering the sax. I’ve never been disappointed in a lesson.

I want to let you know that your instructional material is transforming my playing.  It is an immense pleasure to learn and play now, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am. The instructional material I got from you is by far the best of any I own (and I have over 100 books, DVDs, and what not). I literally can’t thank you enough! Deric

Thank you for the wealth of helpful lessons you’ve provided over the years.  I truly feel as though it has improved my playing more than the 4 years I spent at Berklee… and that’s not a slight on the school as I loved my experience there.

I would like to say that in the last year my sax playing has progressed loads from your lessons. I have had a sax for about 20 years and dabbled with lessons from a few teachers and have learnt very little from them. As you have said in your lessons many teachers tell you to use the blues scale and leave it there, not even showing you the resolution points!!. I am now believing I can in time become a good improviser.
Thanks again,
Shane

I am enjoying your style of teaching, and you’ve done a great job with the videos….good sound quality and well constructed lessons.  Balances the more guitaristic material found on the majority of guitar based programs.  Jazz vocab is what I’m all about at this point in the journey.   I especially dig the fact that you’ve studied with Bergonzi…helps me see his voluminous output in a more  bite sized way.

Thanks so much for putting all this great learning material out there. I don’t often have the time to take a lesson with a teacher, so the ability to download lessons is really invaluable. My playing has improved enormously (I think :)) – and the lessons are so varied there’s always something to be inspired by. Incredible value too!

Steve really changed my way of practicing: I got a whole lot of new ideas for my playing the tenor.  His lessons are really helpful, give a lot stuff to practice and give clear answers to complicated stuff.  Steve has a lot of humor and I wish I had laughed so much in my former days with the horn.  All topics, from Blues to Approach note are dealt with clearness that wet ones appetite to play and practice that great ideas.

Hey Steve, I’m a 22-year-old from Australia. I thought it would be worth saying. You’re an absolute legend. I can’t thank you enough. You have helped me rekindle my love for the saxophone and music as a whole. All the best for the future, your work doesn’t go unnoticed. PS. I am loving your devastating minor lines pdf.

Your lessons on playing the blues is so clear . I have been through many books on blues playing and not one of them explains as clear as your lessons . Most of them say “Play the same blues scale over all three chords of a 12 bar blues ” Its very misleading .     Thanks

Just to say thanks for your advice and lessons.  I’ve just read your amazing story.  I really appreciate what you do in regards to teaching.  I have bought a couple of your lessons and frankly they’re undersold.   I’ve learned much more with these two lessons than with 2 years of sax teachers.   Thanks so much………..

I can’t say enough about my membership at Neff Music. Steve has taken the mystery out of playing the saxophone well and improvising both jazz and rock music. Like most struggling players I have a load of all sorts of books on my shelf just gathering dust. Books that I didn’t understand or know how to put to use…or just have the time to go threw them. Steve’s lessons really simplify things and he puts it in a way that I can understand. They inspire me to keep pushing and having him as my guide or… Read more

I want to thank you for your “Ultimate II-V-I Primer”  which has sent me off on a much better path to improvisation.  The primer and the four bound books I have will keep me busy for a long time.  I like your lessons for two reasons.  The lessons work and THEY ARE FUN.  Thanks again.

I’ve been a member of Steve’s site for about six months now and the difference it has made to my playing is immeasurable. The (many) benefits of this membership are that you can have lessons at time convenient to you, they work out A LOT cheaper than face-to-face lessons with a teacher of the same calibre and you can replay them ad infinitum. I don’t know how many times have I had lessons in the past where I’ve ended up covering the same concepts when really a ‘replay’ of the last lesson would h… Read more

I can see from your instructional videos that you are a fantastic teacher – one that can truly relate to all ages – humble yet very positive in approach – never coming across as superior and yet so totally capable of demonstrating the principles and techniques that you seek to impart to the students.

By the way, BIG COMPLIMENTS to you, Steve! Not only are you a great player, you are also a great teacher! I, too, am a woodwinds player/teacher. I have new inspiration to play and teach because of you. The concepts and “thinking” is similar to what I already learned in College, but hearing you explain and PLAY the concepts REALLY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE! Also, your written patterns are more interesting than other books I have seen! Keep up the good work. I will be recommending your sit… Read more

Steve, just a note to say thanks.

I’ve been playing a long time, but your material, laid out in such a thoughtful way, helps me to understand concepts in a new and deeper way.

You are a true gift to the jazz community.

60 lessons and going strong,

Steve- I joined your site this month and have downloaded 4 lessons and also purchased your new book and video on diatonic patterns. I just want to say I am very pleased with your approach and teaching techniques. I am getting back into playing after laying off for some time. The information you offer on your site is of great value and I am enjoying being a member. Thank you for what you are doing for the saxophone community.

Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for being you, your playing, your website and your desire to help others. I’m a professional musician in the US Army and I’ve visited your website almost every day since discovering it a couple of months ago. Your lessons are profound and easy to use. I’ve purchased most of your PDF books and now am starting to delve more into the video and audio lessons.  Thank you for being a great resource!
