Vandoren V16 mouthpieces are inspired by the sounds of the greatest
jazz players from the fifties to the present. Java, V16 and ZZ reeds
are particularly recommended for these mouthpieces. The line of metal
V16 mouthpieces are made with Bell metal and then plated with 24-karat
gold. What has impressed with the range of Vandoren V16 mouthpieces is
the
quality and clarity of the sound produced. With good reeds and a good
ligature these mouthpieces feel very comfortable to play and really help
the sax player to maximise their potential. There are a wide variety to
choose from whatever style of music you are into. They are professional
quality mouthpieces in every way at an affordable price.
For
the Tenor, these mouthpieces are available in three chamber sizes,
Large, Medium and Small. The original V16 model relabelled as Small
produces a centred sound with a lot of projection. The Medium chamber
is inspired by the famous mouthpieces of
the 50s and 60s, and provides a round, deep sound with plenty of bite,
focus and projection. The Large chamber is inspired by mouthpieces from
the 40s and provides a great Vintage sound.
