Vandoren V16 Mouthpiece Comparison 

I’ve had a metal V16 T8 small chamber, for just under two years now. I’m very happy with it! Thank you for an interesting video, Troy! 🎶🎷

I think Vandoren are really onto a winner with that large chamber piece. Probably the best off the shelf piece you can get atm.

GREAT GREAT demo ….love your sound man….wonderful sound on every mpc…Vandoren mpcs are almost the holy grail 😀👍

Fantastic sound, technique, touch, and tone.

The T7 sounds phenomenal with Troy, you convinced me to use this mouthpiece for many years I have been playing the Vandoren for the clarinet, but this mouthpiece has brought competition ...... thanks........:)

Fantasic comparison! I still play my T6L, it's incredible how good the piece is. Especially at most $150, it's outplayed every $300 piece, $600 piece, and $1000 florida link I had at one point! Saxophonists, don't break the bank, just get a V16 and practice hahahaha

Got the T7 medium ebonite.... They LOVE IT..!!

Omg! Thank you for this review this was not only very helpful but I loved the small bits of humor sprinkled throughout ( 5:51 ) 🤣

Vandoren T8 is 2.77mm or a .109". Otto link Super Tone Master 8 is .110"

Vandoren T7 is 2.65mm or a .104". Otto link 7 * is a .105".

No offence to any mouthpiece brand, but if any note stifles, or is in anyway difficult to get, especially when it's a demo to show how easy the full range should be, then I know it's not the mpc for me.

Nice to hear the great Troy Roberts playing different Vandoren pieces, I would have liked to hear him on the metal T7 V16 medium chamber, which perhaps stands out in their range for it's Florida like character and beauty, I don't care for the small chamber metals at all, but the large chamber metal in a small tip opening is in the tone master ball park I think. Vandoren are making terrific pieces at a good price, but despite Troy's prodigious gifts on the saxophone, those Vandoren ebonite tenor pieces have some upper partials, and it's all about partials, I don't care for. I'd love to hear Troy play a great vintage rubber EB next:)

Very amazing comparison. I like the way you play this marvellous instrument. Coming to the pieces, do you think the metal V16 is similar to a Florida Link? I would like to buy a V16 metal T6 Small chamber, but don't want a copy of my actual Florida Link. I would like more power and brightness. Thanks. God Bless.

Is this a JL Artists edition tenor ?

nice horn mate is that the lovely one I saw you play last time?

On the t7 large chamber do you have to push a lot or a little bit more air than the medium chamber

Why not just use a real Otto Link hard rubber Tone Edge, or a metal SuperToneMaster 7* or 8. It's the original mouthpiece, and was used by all the greats!
