High school student confused about alto sax mouthpiece: any pointers?

I’m about to be a senior in high school, and this summer I have the chance to buy my own mouthpiece. It might seem crazy to some others, but I used the mouthpiece that came with my Selmer (Model AS500). On top of the fact that I’m lead alto for my jazz band and ensemble, I really really need to get one. But the problem is, I’ve never had the chance to actually look into all the technicalities of buying a mouthpiece. So…any suggestions? I’ll be playing mostly jazz with it. I’m focusing on practicality, but it would depend on how improved the sound would be – I dont’ know the exact model of my mouthpiece (the one that came with the AS500, but it says “4C” on it).

For Jazz, I’d look at either a Meyer 5 or Otto Link. Do yourself a favor and try them out before buying one. Berg Larson is a good mouthpiece but they tend to be cannons and unless you have a huge sound or a third lung it may be a bit much for you.

I play a Meyer 5 on Alto and an Otto Link on Tenor.

And if you are still using an AS500 do yourself another favor and buy a Selmer C star or Selmer Larry Teal for everything other than Jazz.
