Nothing has improved the sound of my alto saxophone like my V16 Vandoren mouthpiece. It's easy to reed with a variety of brands, and the intonation and timbre are both excellent. With a 2, I find it most effective. Signature of a 25-year-old or two-year-old Legere. Vandoren Red Java reed, 5 pieces.
For years, I'd been playing on a Meyer 6, and I'd always had a problem with some notes sounding weak (I'm looking at you, middle D). I couldn't get the sound I wanted out of it even when I played long tones with careful attention to breath, embouchure, tongue position, and moon phase. br>Now it's Vandoren's turn. I now have a consistent tone across the entire horn's range. I'm not sure how these things are designed or why one works better than the other, but this mouthpiece is a winner for my lungs, mouth, reed, and horn.
From the highest peaks to the lowest troughs; This mouthpiece has a lot of potential. Free-flowing, effortless, and barely audible; power all the way down the scale Whether you're a novice or a seasoned pro, this is the perfect piece for you. My Jody Jazz DV is in the case with this mouthpiece. This mouthpiece would be beneficial to the Pro in his daily practice.
I like the sound, but I'm new to alto and self-taught, so I had no idea what mps were when I bought this. I chose the A9 for no apparent reason, and it turned out to be far too large for me. I gave it a few months and was able to play well on it, but I couldn't play for more than 30 minutes at a time. I was able to go for 40 minutes without my mouth becoming tired. I had no idea you could return mps, and I'm sure I would have been content with a smaller tip rather than the maximum. I recently purchased a Phil-based business. I told Phil to choose for me a Tone Le Son with a much smaller tip opening of 5 1/2 or 6. I'm looking forward to hearing how my new sound turns out.
It's always been said that I'm too quiet when I play. This mouthpiece allows me to get a good amount of air into the horn. Without a doubt, the small chamber aids in projection. My voice is naturally warm and dark, but this mouthpiece gives it a bite that brightens it up. This mouthpiece is perfect for me.
Over the last year, this has been an excellent mouthpiece for me. I recently switched because I play in a Big Band and needed more volume and flexibility, which a larger tip opening provides. I'll happily keep this as a backup and for when I need to play in different settings.
After doing some research and purchasing my first sax (an Antigua Pro One alto), I realized I would need to upgrade the mouthpiece because it is such an important part of playability and tone. This is a highly recommended mouthpiece to start with, as I went to a few shops and asked around in addition to reading online. The Vandoren V16 is well-liked and regarded as a good place to start when looking for a high-quality mouthpiece. Beginners should use hard rubber instead of metal because metal is more difficult to control. I was told that a mouthpiece size of 6 or 6* is a good place to start in terms of size, and after getting my mouthpiece, I noticed that the sax was easier to play, that I had far better control of the low notes, and that my overall tone was richer and fatter. You must match your mouthpiece to your reed. A Vandoren 3 works well for me in this situation with this mouthpiece. I also purchased the leather Vandoren ligature, which fits perfectly on this mouthpiece, is simple to use, and looks fantastic. This would be a good choice if you are unable to try out a large number of mouthpieces (which is difficult).
