It is made in a variety of different sizes: the piccolo (tuned in F), prima (in C), alto (in G), tenor (in F), and bass (in C).
Silver plating is common on all brass mouthpieces because it is cost-effective and good in terms of tone quality. It is also moderately germicidal. Silver plating is not as comfortable [citation needed] or as expensive as gold, but has properties and qualities that some feel facilitate certain styles of playing [dubious – discuss].

The mouthpiece was a flat bit of ivory or bone. The chamber inside the windcap was intended to collect moisture and prevent it from entering the duct, employing differing devices for that purpose. The stream of air passing through the duct crosses the window and is split by the labium (also lip or edge) giving rise to a musical sound.
Soprano saxophone mouthpiece. The mouthpiece of a woodwind instrument is that part of the instrument which is placed partly in the player's mouth. Single-reed instruments, capped double-reed instruments, and fipple flutes have mouthpieces while exposed double-reed instruments (apart from those using pirouettes) and open flutes do not.
The mouthpiece is similar to that of a flute, a skudutis or lamzdelis. While playing, the left hand holds the švilpa, and the index finger of the right hand covers the open end. The sound of the švilpa is soft, the timbre is gentle. The švilpa is a solo instrument for free improvisation, song and dance melodies, and sutartinės.
