Vandoren V16 Metal Tenor Sax Mouthpiece T7

[brother cavefish]

i am pondering this , my first metal, and it has good reviews and the sound samples seem Dark any thoughts

Have you seen the reviews on Neff music? He reviews medium and large chambers. Plus their are audios of the mouthpieces being played with various reeds.

o yes he is great decider on most of my MPs sound clips , are the best , i just thought i would throw a couple out here

If you get the metal Vandoren- let us know how it sounds. I really like my rubber one so far because it feels like I got less mouthpiece in my mouth. A lot of the greats played a Link. There are some really good metal mouthpieces but the price tags are really good also.

Brother Cavefish,

Up until recently getting a great deal on a Link STM that plays great, I’d had my eye out for one of these (metal V16 medium chamber T7) at a good price too. The price on one with the Optimum Ligature is close to $400 here in the USA.

Well, I’m a memeber of a Sax Equipment Sales Group on Facebook and earlier today a guy posted a bunch of Vandoren Mouthpieces for sale. If you look, you’ll see he’s selling the metal V16 medium chamber T7 with the optimum ligature for $200 bucks. I don’t think you’ll find it much better than that. If’ I’d not just bought that used Link STM I would be all over it myself since the Optimum ligature alone is worth right at $100 new.

It made me think of you and your post here, so I wanted to share the opprotunity with you to take advantage of if you’ve not yet bought one:

If you do get one please post back here, as I’ve got the itch to play on one myself to see how they sound and play compared to a Link STM, both my newer one that’s had work done on it, and a vintage Florida STM.

hi i just got a sweet deal on a V16 T7L with the optimum Ligature set all for 308.00

[brother cavefish]

well i got it, it is definitely a serious piece, well made , like a precious jewel perfect , came wrapped up professionally ,, came with the optimum ligature wrapped up just as great, extra plates, the works, a little finicky though, only accepts certain reeds no room for play — i played it it plays very well— its tone has dark qualities, big throat, but the sonority brightens it up, if i had to categorize this, i would say rock and roll or straight jazz in a big concert setting, ballads hmmmmm—-it is a little to loud for me at this point, but i need some more time it does hit the lows very nice,
