Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Easy to change from standard student mouthpiece (yamaha 4c) to v16. Intonation and timbre are both superb. Good mouthpiece for intermediate sax player and higher level.

There are dozens of different variants that supposed to make the sound darker or smoother or jazzier. This is the sound i was looking for, not too bright, just about right. This mouthpiece also allows me to get that bite that brightens up my sounds.

Quality


But fast forward to now i’ve practiced a lot with it and the sound quality is very nice


For me this piece with rico royal reeds have helped me find a tone im really happy with


I got a crappy 250 sax off ebay and this mouthpiece turned it into a 1500 sounding sax coupled with the vandoren reeds


If youre a jazz player looking for your first pro mouthpiece and youre not sure where to start give the vandoren v16 a couple of weeks

Competitiveness


Its structure on the end fitting over the crook is heavy enough it should outlast some of its competitors which are thinner in this area


In this case with this mouthpiece a vandoren 3 works well for me

    The mouthpiece that was selected of the three i received provided a bit more subtone on the low notes on the right stack

    As a professional musician it would be ridiculous for me to write a comprehensive review of this mouthpiece since it is such a personal thing unique to each person who plays it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It has a bigger tip opening different construction and i had to adjust my embouchure to really make it sing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wouldnt use it in a classical setting but that would be like using a screwdriver to hammer in a nail


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was told a 6 or 6 is generally a good place to start in terms of size


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you cant try out a lot of mouthpieces which is hard to do this would be a good bet


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You can feel a balance in projection and darkness


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i thought i would try this v16 mouthpiece
