Classic sound for jazz and classical
The T45 is a legendary mouthpiece for a reason. It offers a warm, centered tone that works beautifully in both jazz combos and classical ensembles. The response is immediate, and the intonation is spot on across all registers.

Great quality but requires break-in
Excellent craftsmanship as expected from Vandoren. The ebonite feels premium in the hand. It took about a week of playing to fully open up the sound, but now it sings. Just be patient during the initial break-in period.

Smooth high register
The high notes speak effortlessly on this mouthpiece. I struggled with squeaking on my previous gear, but the T45 has eliminated that issue completely. The resistance is balanced perfectly for long practice sessions.

Consistent and reliable
I have been using Vandoren T45 mouthpieces for over ten years. This purchase was a replacement for my old one, and the quality remains consistent. It's my go-to choice for gigging because I know exactly what sound I will get.

Perfect upgrade from stock mouthpiece
I upgraded from the mouthpiece that came with my student sax, and the difference is night and day. The projection is much better, and I have far more control over dynamics. Highly recommend for intermediate players.

Good value for French import
Solid mouthpiece with a rich tone. The tip opening 3 is versatile enough for various styles. My only minor complaint is that the cap fit is slightly loose compared to my older model, but it doesn't affect performance.
Q: Is the tip opening measurement exact for every unit?
A: While Vandoren maintains high quality control, slight natural variations can occur in hand-finished ebonite mouthpieces. However, they are rigorously tested to ensure they fall within strict tolerance limits for the specified size.
Q: How should I clean this ebonite mouthpiece?
A: Use lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid hot water as it can warp the ebonite material. Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth after each use to prevent oxidation.
Q: Does this come with a ligature?
A: No, this product includes only the mouthpiece, a protective cap, and a glass plate for reed adjustment. Ligatures are sold separately.
Q: Is this mouthpiece suitable for a beginner tenor sax player?
A: Yes, the T45 with a tip opening of 3 is very forgiving and is often recommended for students moving beyond their starter equipment. It provides a good balance of resistance and ease of play.
Q: What is the difference between the T45 and the V16 series?
A: The T45 (Traditional) series generally offers a warmer, more classical sound with a medium-long facing. The V16 series was originally designed for jazz, offering a brighter tone and slightly different facing curves, though there is overlap in usage.
