V16: the Vandoren legacy, from rue Lepic to jazz stages
Vandoren, an iconic house located at 56 rue Lepic, has built a worldwide reputation thanks to the excellence of its mouthpieces and reeds. The V16 series in ebonite continues this tradition, with a resolutely jazz-oriented approach and a design inspired by "old school" sounds.For which tenor saxophonist and styles?
This mouthpiece is aimed at tenor saxophonists seeking a strong jazz signature, both in section and as lead. It is particularly suitable for big band, latin, and electro contexts, thanks to its balance between presence, control, and depth.Sound and design
Made of ebonite (natural rubber), this V16 owes its character to the balance between tip opening, chamber, and internal geometry (roof and bore). The result: solid projection, dense color, smooth response, and a coherent playing feel, whether played more "closed" or more "open" depending on the version.Recommended compatible accessories

This Vandoren V16 is a very good mouthpiece. Excellent sound, without too much brilliance and remarkable ease of emission (equivalent to an Otto Link 7*, much more difficult to play). I use it with a Vandoren Optimum ligature and for me it is the ideal couple. Congratulations Vandoren and Bravo Woodbrass for a record processing of the order... as professional as ever.

Delivered in 24 hours as expected, this V16 is great, I have the same A5S for my alto and this T7 is also terrible for my tenor, a powerful mouthpiece, ultra stamped depending on the reed strength that we play, in short a great mouthpiece for funk and even blues or rock.
Of course, I recommend this mouthpiece if you like to send big sounds.Automatically translated
