Vandoren V16 alto saxophone mouthpiece

Ebonite mouthpiece for jazz in the tradition of the famous American alto saxophone mouthpieces of the fifties.

Available in two different chambers, S (small) and M (medium).  The small chamber is designed for strong projection, accuracy in pitch articulation and timbre; a fine choice for a lead player.  The medium chamber is designed for flexibility, accuracy in pitch and articulation; the alternate choice in sound.

Medium Chamber - A rich, accurate and very centered timbre provides the M series with great warmth and a lot of expressiveness. These mouthpieces offer easy control and excellent comfort.

Small Chamber - S series mouthpieces have more timbre than the M series, and they offer a strong predominance of medium harmonics as well as great accuracy in pitch and articulation. They have a strong and bright sound with excellent density.

• A5 (opening : 1,88 mm) : very comfortable, great blowing and articulation ease
• A6 (opening : 1,96 mm) : the ideal synthesis between ease of emission and richness of sound
• A7 (opening : 2,04 mm) : perfect balance between power & dynamics
• A8 (opening : 2,10 mm) : exceptional ease of emission for a mouthpiece of this opening, very powerful and homogenous throughout the entire compass of registers ; perfectly adapted for soloists and acoustic jazz
