VandorenOPTIMUM Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece TL5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vandoren’s OPTIMUM TL5 is a tenor saxophone mouthpiece developed around both its exterior shape, including the beak, and its sound design. It is made to feel free-blowing and responsive while keeping articulation accurate from soft to loud playing. The TL5 shares the sound qualities of the TL3, but uses a slightly larger tip opening. Its focus is controlled dynamics and precise intonation in one dedicated tenor sax setup.
