Selected User Reviews For Vandoren SM403 S35 V5 Series Soprano Sax Mouthpiece

In terms of sound quality, it's comparable to Yamaha's

3/5

A darker, mellower sound can be heard in the lower register but it is much brighter in the middle and high registers. The reason that I gave it an OK rating is because after having played both for a while, I would definitely choose the Yamaha piece that came with it. It hasn't been said that the Vandoren is a bad mouthpiece, but that the Yamaha is a better volume, consistency, and feel mouthpiece. As a result, the difference in cost and benefit was not worth the upgrade for me. There are no rules when it comes to mouthpieces, and another player might think it's a great choice. It took me a long time to find the sonic character I was looking for with my Tenor, and I suspect the same with the soprano, too.

It is an excellent mouthpiece, which is versatile and durable

5/5

A friend of mine has used one for 25 years, and she loves From low to high, I can play anything from soft and sweet to loud and slamming, and it always results in Although I have tried some other mouthpieces, I have yet to find one I prefer. In my experience, I prefer the sound of clarinet reeds (LaVoz Med Soft) on this. It seems that those materials do not make the sound thinner, make it easier to articulate, and go well with mouthpieces. Often I did not clip the tip enough to fit the mouthpiece, so I made the face of it wider with just a bit of clipping.
