A Baritone Mouthpiece Rooted in Vandoren Jazz Tradition
Available in several openings, this baritone saxophone mouthpiece is part of the great jazz mouthpiece tradition: roundness and grain, with projection capable of carrying both in section and solo. Its "V16" DNA aims for a balance between vintage character and modern control, to achieve distinctive colors without sacrificing intonation.
For Which Musician and Styles
Designed for intermediate to professional saxophonists seeking a versatile jazz mouthpiece. It is particularly suited for jazz, big band, swing, funk, and contemporary music, with a comfortable response across the entire baritone range.
Sound and Design
The bonite material promotes flexible response and precise articulation. The 255 opening offers a good compromise between ease of play, timbre density, and volume reserve, while the medium-long facing helps shape the air column for a more flexible and expressive sound.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To fully exploit this mouthpiece, prioritize Vandoren reeds JAVA, V16, or ZZ, which are indicated as perfectly suited for this model.
