Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Vandoren V16 Metal T9 is a small-chamber tenor saxophone mouthpiece made from Bell Metal brass with 24-karat gold plating. Its revised exterior and internal design draw on the character associated with earlier metal tenor mouthpieces. The included Optimum ligature and cap make this a complete mouthpiece kit for a player selecting the T9 version. It is a focused choice when the small-chamber V16 format and T9 designation are the ones you need.
Strong match
