A top choice of music educators and professional musicians, the D’Addario Select Jazz Marble tenor saxophone mouthpiece delivers a timeless tone with even intonation across the full range of your instrument. They have thick rails which help control for beginners, yet make an advanced sound. (The Runyon plastic mpcs are also great value and better than stock pieces. The insides are curved, which is more expensive to make. The characteristics of the V16 are: long face, large chamber, thin tip rails, hard rubber. It depends on the microphone and song feel. The sound might be too full (spread) for classical players.įor rock where the horn is competing or matching the electric guitar, I might want to use the metal Link instead. The V16 reeds are lively and my favorite now. Upper registers are easier to blow with the V16. The upper register are full and alive with this more than any mpc I ever tried! I tried it on a cheap chinese horn and it sounded better too. This Vandoren V16 gave me for rich lower frequency resonance and fuller sound. I have Metal Dukoff, Berg, and Otto link mpcs, and Runyon plastic mpcs. The horn sounds great with stock mouthpiece but I wanted more power, projection, and darkness. This is a wonderful voice.I bought this for a Yamaha YTS-82Z II. On my horns, the sound is glorious, full of warmth and texture, even more so on my vintage King, Holton and Borgani horns. I don’t think I’ve ever had a piece with such a sound. I was floored to hear an almost English Horn woodiness immediately in the sound. It’s the sound, though, that sets this one apart. This piece has a design that looks just like a slant Link internally. This is one of those.īest comparison in terms of design is the Otto Link Slant Signature soprano mouthpiece, which has a chamber that is significantly smaller than most other vintage large chamber soprano mouthpieces. Most often, the chambers are way too big and that results in a diffuse sound and, quite often, awful intonation.īut, then there are the gems, the ones that offer something unique and desirable, with chambers that are special and a sound that is also special. So few of them get the chamber size right. I see a lot of unmarked, nameless vintage large chamber soprano mouthpieces and many of them are anonymous in sound, too.
