Son loves the sound, says it requires more air

Bought this for my son who plays Alto sax. He loves the sound quality, but said he'll have to build stamina as it requires a bit more air to play.

Great place to start when upgrading your mouthpiece.

After buying my first sax (an Antigua Pro One alto) and doing a bit of research, I realized I would need to upgrade the mouthpiece, since the mouthpiece is a critical component of playability and tone. I went to a few shops and asked around, in addition to reading online. This is a highly recommended mouthpiece to start with. The Vandoren V16 is well respected and seen as a great starting point for people wanting to explore quality mouthpieces. Hard rubber is recommended for beginners as metal can be harder to control. I was told a 6 or 6* is generally a good place to start in terms of size. Upon getting my mouthpiece, I found that the sax was easier to play, I had far better control of the low notes, and also a richer, fatter tone overall. You need to pair your reed to your mouthpiece. In this case, with this mouthpiece, a Vandoren 3 works well for me. I also got the leather Vandoren ligature, which fits really nicely on this mouthpiece and is easy to use and also looks great. If you can't try out a lot of mouthpieces (which is hard to do), this would be a good bet.

Great mouthpiece!!

The media could not be loaded. I read a lot about this model of mouthpiece and I was thinking of getting A5 s+ or A6.I went with A5s+ and I can only say go for it!Such an amazing mouthpiece, great and fast response and it’s so easy to play.I have vintage Conn Naked Lady sax, I play mostly Jazz, Big Band, Funk, Hip Hop music.Highly recommend this mouthpiece.I would definitely buy one for my tenor, just don’t know which one, any recommendations?

Calidad extrema , muy fiel en graves y agudos

La numeración mas angosta resultó muy ancha para mis necesidades musicales , pero me encantó su calidad y fabricación

This mouthpiece is by far the best mouthpiece I've ever tried

This mouthpiece is by far the best mouthpiece I've ever tried. I have tried Jodyjazz, Meyer, Berglarson, but this one beats all (of course, possibly just preference). I personally like a big tip opening and medium chamber so to me this one is the one. its easy to blow through, has amazing projection, and it can almost say it has different gears. You can really play soft and/or loud and it just sounds wonderful. If you're a fan of big tip openings I recommend this mouthpiece.

il faut s'accrocher

Cela fait une semaine que je l'ai reçu. Au début, les aigus étaient faux et les sur -aigus ne sortaient pas, j'étais vraiment déçue. j'ai décidé de jouer avec une anche plus faible et après une semaine , c'est le jour et la nuit, l'emission est facile et le son est juste magnifique. Avec ce bec il faut persévérer.

Great mouthpiece

These mouthpieces really do re-create the classic Meyer New York "M" chamber model from the 50's. ( as played by Phil Woods etc.. ) with a ballooned out chamber, roll over baffle & good tip and rails. - I had to come down a half size tip opening recently from a 7 facing ( 80 thousands of an inch ) - this 6 facing is 77 thou. & is more comfortable for me, with lots of power and easily shaped to get a varied palette of sounds, with great articulation & altissimo, without having to over blow!Great for professionals and serious players alike - beginners should probably start on a smaller facing than this series. - Vandoren have other smaller faced models!These retail at a very good price too, so don't be tempted to spend hundreds of pounds on fully handmade pieces, coz they won't be any better - I have a drawer full of them, so I know!Please remember though, in all of this, everything is personal & subjective.
