Why I love my mouthpiece...
Vandoren V16... the mouthpiece that liberates you be you.
"Realizing that many players just like to "talk shop" and love trying out the "next new thing," I'm glad I've found the mouthpiece that brings my sound up to ground zero... nothing in the way. Now I can concentrate on what really counts... developing a lovely, powerful, sensitive sound."
