The Vandoren V16 Metal T95 Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece has the same brilliant qualities as the T77 but produces a more open sound, will satisfy all demands. This is the V16 mouthpiece for tenor sax. This metal mouthpiece is the newest creation from Vandoren. It is made in the tradition of the famous American metal sax mouthpieces of the 50's.
I use a metal V16 mouthpiece from the old line of metal V16s, before Vandoren began offering multiple chamber sizes. The chamber on the old V16s is equivalent to the small chamber size they offer today. I use this in scenarios where I need to compete with lots of amplified instruments, such as in Latin jazz, rock or pop groups.
These are fairly bright mouthpieces. I can't imagine any of them would lack any brilliance. I would try a T95.
Definitely go with the T95. Much bigger sound. Plenty bright.
I had a T95 for a little bit and although it had a bigger louder sound I felt it lost some of the core to the sound. I remember listening to recordings of myself and not liking the sound. It was more hollow sounding than the T75 for me.
