Review: Vandoren V16+ A5 - Mouthpiece is easy blowing. Sound is bright.
Review: Great mouthpiece!! - I read a lot about this model of mouthpiece and I was thinking of getting A5 s+ or A6. I went with A5s+ and I can only say go for it! Such an amazing mouthpiece, great and fast response and it’s so easy to play. I have vintage Conn Naked Lady sax, I play mostly Jazz, Big Band, Funk, Hip Hop music. Highly recommend this mouthpiece. I would definitely buy one for my tenor, just don’t know which one, any recommendations?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vandoren V16+ A5
*by N***E on August 31, 2025*

Mouthpiece is easy blowing. Sound is bright.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mouthpiece!!
*by B***V on March 4, 2023*

I read a lot about this model of mouthpiece and I was thinking of getting A5 s+ or A6. I went with A5s+ and I can only say go for it! Such an amazing mouthpiece, great and fast response and it’s so easy to play. I have vintage Conn Naked Lady sax, I play mostly Jazz, Big Band, Funk, Hip Hop music. Highly recommend this mouthpiece.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great place to start when upgrading your mouthpiece.
*by I***O on May 23, 2015*

After buying my first sax (an Antigua Pro One alto) and doing a bit of research, I realized I would need to upgrade the mouthpiece, since the mouthpiece is a critical component of playability and tone. I went to a few shops and asked around, in addition to reading online. This is a highly recommended mouthpiece to start with. The Vandoren V16 is well respected and seen as a great starting point for people wanting to explore quality mouthpieces. Hard rubber is recommended for beginners as metal can be harder to control. I was told a 6 or 6* is generally a good place to start in terms of size. Upon getting my mouthpiece, I found that the sax was easier to play, I had far better control of the low notes, and also a richer, fatter tone overall. You need to pair your reed to your mouthpiece. In this case, with this mouthpiece, a Vandoren 3 works well for me. I also got the leather Vandoren ligature, which fits really nicely on this mouthpiece and is easy to use and also looks great. If you can't try out a lot of mouthpieces (which is hard to do), this would be a good bet.
