Selected User Reviews For Vandoren SM416 A45 V5 Series Alto Sax Mouthpiece
I'm playing an alto saxophone by Yanagisawa, and I'm using the mouthpiece that came with it. It has never made me completely happy. I read that this produces a warmer tone, which is exactly what I was looking for when playing in community bands. That's exactly what it does, and it's perfectly functional.
This is a great mouthpiece for classical saxophone players who want to keep it simple. Even though this mouthpiece has the largest opening (AL5), it is still quite small in comparison to other mouthpieces, necessitating the use of a stronger reed (Hemke 3). Even so, it's a fantastic game. In the last few years, I've bought and played a lot of mouthpieces (Vandoren, Selmer, Meyer, Rico, and Otto Link), and this one is by far the best. Exceptional altissimo response and consistency throughout the entire range. It sounds great on both the older Selmer Mark VI and the newer AS42.
The quality of the boquilla is excellent. In addition, the delivery was extremely quick. I am overjoyed with my purchase.
Great! Excelent!.
