Wow! Amazing.
TonyOr 11.02.2020
A while back, I watched Mike Brown's excellent sax.co.uk video on YouTube in which he compares various tenor mouthpieces. I was impressed by the Vandoren V16 and subsequently bought one - a T6 medium chamber - which I paired with a Vandoren Optimum ligature. It worked really well for me and I've been using it ever since.

I have been thinking about upgrading to a professional level saxophone but wanted to make sure I was getting the best out of the one I already own before spending a lot of money. I remembered that Mike mentioned that Vandoren had just brought out a large chamber version of the V16 and I thought that might be interesting. When I saw one on Thomann's website for £108 I couldn't resist. I also decided to move up to a T7.

What a difference it makes! My tone now has more depth and the upper register particularly sounds much fuller. It's surprisingly easy to play. It needs more air, of course, but the resistance is about the same as the T6. I can hit the palm key notes much more easily and with better tone and the low notes are easier too. Intonation is also better - upper A, B and C have always been a little flat, but now they are pretty much in tune. I don't pretend to understand how all these improvements can be the result of increasing the tip opening and chamber size, but I' very happy about it.

Very pleased

No complaints - only praise. Very pleased with this mouthpiece. Full range easily achieved with this m/p - nice deep sound on lower registers and no ‘ice pick’ piercing on upper registers.

Eine echte Alternative!
Hendrik.sax 30.11.2020
Ich finde, dass das V16 T7-L eine echt gute Alternative zu dem gängigen V16 ist, da man durch die größere Kammer mehr Textur im Sound erhält. Das Mundstück hat eine gute Ansprache und bietet in den tiefen Tönen einen Subtonartigen Klang. Auch in den hohen Lagen klingt das Mundstück voll und nicht zu dünn. Ich habe mir das V16 T7 und das V 16 T7-L bestellt. Schließlich habe ich mich für das T7-L entschieden, da mir der etwas dunklere Klang besser gefallen hat und beim spielen gibt es mir das gewisse Etwas, was ich bei dem normalen T7 vermisst habe. Ich würde das T7-L auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen, wenn man auf der Suche nach einem neuen Mundstück ist. Auch wenn man es nicht denkt, macht die größere Kammer doch klanglichen einen Unterschied.

Jeu facile et timbre ancré !
jaz'lou 10.01.2021
Je suis à la recherche d'un son chaleureux et nuancé ! Il fallait donc que je teste le V16 chambre large.
Pour le ressenti de jeu :
Agréablement surpris, il n'est pas autant résistant que je ne le pensais, il réagit assez vite malgré la grande chambre ! L'articulation est vraiment facile, et les attaques sont agréables à jouer ! De plus il est super malléable en TOUTE FACILITEE, dans les effets sonores, les nuances... Malheureusement, en petit bémol je ne le trouve pas assez puissant quand on envoi tous ce qu'on a... contrairement au Berg Lasen, ou au Daddario woodwind par exemple
Pour le son :
Comme attendu, il est assez chaud, et ça se ressent dans le jeu ! Mais il existe encore plus chaud pour moi : l'otto link tone edge, par exemple, ou encore le Bari, qui me satisfont mieux ! Petit point négatif : avec une anche V16 entre le ré grave et le si medium, il y'a un grain dans le son, un peu trop prononcé à mon gout qui est dur d'atténuer... Et selon moi, il tend à ramener le son un peu plus brillant, dommage ! Mais ça ne le fait qu'avec les anches V16 !
Bref à mon goût c'est un bon bec, à tester ! Mais qui pourrait être un plus chaud et puissant, selon moi. Une version légèrement améliorée à mon gout serait le Bari !
