Description
V16 mouthpieces are inspired by the sounds of the greatest jazz players from the fifties to the present. The V16 alto mouthpiece is available in 5 tip openings and two chambers:
Small + chamber: The new S+ chamber is the next step in the evolution of the V16 alto mouthpiece. The new S+ chamber offers a richer depth of sound while keeping the free-blowing nature and projection that characterizes the V16 alto models. The S+ chamber accommodates more air providing the musician greater flexibility and a wider array of colors with which to work. The new S+ chamber takes the place of the current V16 alto S series mouthpieces. Listen to Baptiste Herbin play the new S+ below.
Medium chamber: Warm and expressive, ideal for section playing.
A5 - Available in Small + or Medium chamber. The tip opening preferred by history’s greatest jazz soloists.
A6 - Available in Small + or Medium chamber. The most played mouthpiece, in every style.
A7 - Available in Small + or Medium chamber. The perfect balance in power and dynamic range.
A8 - Available in Small + or Medium chamber. An open mouthpiece with qualities similar to the A5.
A9 - Available in Small + or Medium chamber. Powerful and expressive.
