This mouthpiece is probably the best thing that ever happened to me.(as far as music goes) I play on a Saxophone.com tenor sax model and it roars when the V16 is on it along V16 #3 reeds. I got the T7 which I was surprised to see, was the lowest facing available. But the rich, solid tone this mouthpiece provides is an amazing jazz tone. By talking into the instrument while playing, I can now make a mean, nasty, powerful tone like that raspy sound of Clarence Clemmons. I can listen to the classical jazz stuff and create a prefect match in sound compared to John Coltrane and several other legends. (They?re not lying when they say, "This mouthpiece is designed to imitate the sound response of jazz mouthpieces from the 50's.") All I can say is that if you want an amazing mouthpiece that will allow you to create the prefect TRUE JAZZ sound, choose Vandoren V16.You won't regret it.
The Vandoren V16 Tenor mouthpiece is a great rubber mouthpiece for the price. The mouthpiece has a large chamber opening that lets you play with a large and robust sound. The feel of the mouthpiece in the mouth feels snug and comfortable similar to an old Meyer or Otto link. It comes with no ligature, but a great ligature to try with the mouthpiece is a large Rovner, a Frantois Louis brass or gold chamber ligature, and the Vandoren Optium 16 that has three chambers so you can see which piece will give you the sound you are looking for. The only flaw about the mouthpiece is some players will think it?s too big, but to understand from a big stand point, it?s not as big as an old white Brilhart mouthpiece.
I've played through probably about 30+ combinations of mouthpieces and reeds. The T7 brings new meaning to the word "control". Since I bought this mouthpiece, which was about three months ago, it's allowed my playing to instantly become more free. Its unlocked things on my horn I would've never even attempted to try 6 months prior. I play on the same brand reeds (V16 3's) and just love the tone quality. This piece allows someone to resonate an entire room with a low subtone all the way to screaming up in the 4th AND 5th octave! Vandoren has created yet another great product!
Well I used to use one of the Selmer metals and I thought that was just too plain edgy for me. I bought the V16. The first thing that came to my mind was "This is a huge mouthpiece!" I tried it and I was just amazed on the projection I had with a mellow feeling in my sound with the Vandoren JAVA reeds, but once you put some ZZ on that monster, it will roar. I'm planning to get the optimum ligature for the mouthpiece and hope for the best with it. If you are looking for a mouthpiece with some huevos and smoothness, the V16 is a must for you, unless you are a metal type of person I guess...
This mouthpiece doesn?t have quite the dark, rich sound as it's metal version but still produces a great sound. I use a synthetic studio cut Legere reed on this mouthpiece and now my altissimo and low notes are flawless.
