Consistent quality control
I have bought three of these over the years, and Vandoren's consistency is impressive. Each T7 feels identical in terms of resistance and response. A reliable choice for working musicians.

Great tone, takes some breaking in
The sound quality is undeniable, offering that classic French warmth. However, it took about a week of playing to break in the hard rubber properly. Once settled, the intonation is spot on across the horn.

Classic R&B Sound
This mouthpiece delivers that vintage R&B tenor sound I was looking for. It blends well with organ trios and has just enough edge without being harsh. Highly recommended for soul and blues players.

T8 is a beast!
If you need volume and projection without sacrificing tone color, the T8 facing is incredible. It requires strong air support but rewards you with a massive sound that cuts through any ensemble.

The Gold Standard for Tenor
I switched from a metal mouthpiece to the V16 T7 and immediately noticed a richer, more centered sound. It responds beautifully in all registers and handles dynamic changes effortlessly. Perfect for both big band and small combo settings.

Upgrade worth every penny
Moving up from a stock mouthpiece to the V16 T6 was a game changer for my high school jazz band experience. My teacher noticed the improvement in my altissimo range immediately.
Q: What reed strength works best with the T7 facing?
A: Most players find that a reed strength between 3.0 and 3.5 pairs perfectly with the T7 facing, though this can vary based on your embouchure and air support.
Q: Is this suitable for classical music or just jazz?
A: While the V16 is famously popular in jazz due to its flexible and bright characteristics, many classical players also use the T6 or T7 facings for their warm core and excellent intonation.
Q: How do I clean the hard rubber material safely?
A: Use lukewarm water and mild soap with a soft swab or cloth. Avoid using alcohol-based cleaners or hot water, as these can damage the ebonite material over time.
Q: What is the difference between the T6, T7, and T8 tip openings?
A: The number indicates the tip opening size; T6 is the most closed, offering easier resistance and a focused sound, while T8 is the most open, providing greater volume and a broader tone but requiring more air support.
Q: Does this mouthpiece come with a ligature and cap?
A: Yes, the Vandoren V16 mouthpiece typically includes a standard metal ligature and a protective plastic cap in the box.
