Vandoren SM416 A45 V5 Series Alto Sax Mouthpiece, Black

This is an excellent, easy playing mouthpiece for classical saxophone playing. Even though this is the largest opening for this model (AL5), it's still relative small compared to other mouthpieces, and required a jump up to a stronger reed (Hemke 3). But even with that, it plays great. I have purchased and played many mouthpieces in the last few years (Vandoren, Selmer, Meyer, Rico, and Otto Link) and can say that this is the best playing of the bunch. Very even throughout the entire range, with excellent altissimo response. Have played it on both Selmer Mark VI and newer AS42, and sounds good on both.

Bought this A45 V5 Series alto mouthpiece for my son. I play tested it, and found it to be an excellent mouthpiece. It produces round sound, with core, and plays evenly across the range of the alto saxophone.

I play a Yanagisawa alto sax and was using the mouthpiece that came with it. I have never been totally satisfied with it. I read that this gives a warmer tone, which I wanted for playing in community bands. It does that and works fine.

Excelente calidad de la boquilla. Además el envío fue muy rápido. Estoy feliz a mil con mi compra.
