You can play softer and get a bit darker and mellower sound for those tenor ballads or if you lay into it you can get a pretty bright and loud sound for the wailin&#8217;\u00a0 rock tenor solos.\u00a0 Vandoren mouthpieces have always been one of the more consistent brands out there. I&#8217;ve never played a bad Vandoren. I think my student is really going to love this piece. It&#8217;s a great step up from his Yamaha 4C he has now.\u00a0 Let me know what you think.\u00a0 Listen&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><code><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-123-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/V16%20HR%20T6.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/V16%20HR%20T6.mp3\">https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/V16%20HR%20T6.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a Vandoren\u00a0 tenor sax mouthpiece I picked up in a local music store for a student of mine.
