I received my Vandoren V16 Tenor Sax T5-L mouthpiece in good time and at an excellent price, initially I found the upgrade from my Yamaha C6 to this mouthpiece challenging, but only after a short while I began to enjoy the wonderful sound that this mouthpiece let me produce both warm and bright, and notably louder than the Yamaha. I originally used a number 2.0 Vandoren V16 Reed, but have now settled on an Alexander Superial 2.5 reed. The mouthpiece is of excellent quality and has more weight to it than I expected, the Vandoren Optimum Ligature V16 which I also bought was of the same quality, although the three reed pressure plates to me don?t make that much of a difference to my sound.
Overall I would recommend this mouthpiece,
