V16: Vandoren's DNA, between French tradition and vintage "vibe"
From the famous address at 56 rue Lepic, Vandoren has established itself as an essential brand for mouthpieces and reeds. The V16 ebonite series embodies this craftsmanship standard, with a philosophy clearly focused on jazz: a lively sound, immediate response, and a "vintage" feel that recalls the aesthetic of big bands and period brass/woodwind sections.
For which musician and styles
This mouthpiece is aimed at intermediate to advanced saxophonists seeking an expressive tool, capable of holding a section or standing out as lead. It is particularly suitable for big band, Latin, and electro styles, whenever you want a clear attack, good projection, and fine control of dynamics.
Sound and design
Made of ebonite, this mouthpiece promotes a comfortable playing feel and balanced sound. It features marked ease of response, register homogeneity, and power that remains musically usable thanks to a wide dynamic range. The 2.80 mm tip opening encourages interpretative flexibility and a broad variation of colors, depending on the reed and your air column.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best out of this mouthpiece, choose tenor saxophone reeds suited to your style (jazz/section/lead) and your preferred resistance comfort. Sold without ligature or mouthpiece cap.
