January, 2011 Chicago, IL– Vandoren is pleased to announce that the long-awaited, much anticipated V16 mouthpieces for baritone sax will soon be available in the US market. Shipments to dealers have begun in limited quantities.

The latest addition to the much-heralded series of soprano, alto and tenor mouthpieces, the new V16 baritone sax mouthpieces are already earning praise for their sound, playability, and responsiveness. They will be available in 3 models – the B5, the B7, and the B9. While each model has its own unique playing characteristics, all three pack quite a punch, with all the flexibility and power you could ask for while being extraordinarily easy to play.

“With the runaway success we’ve had with the V16 series in soprano, alto and tenor, it only made sense that the bari sax was next,” said Jim Metz, DANSR marketing manager. “The first thing that struck me about these pieces is how much power you can get out of them while still being very easy to control. And then there is the sound – colorful, dense with harmonics and very flexible. With the responsiveness and intonation that are hallmarks of all Vandoren mouthpieces, these will make a huge splash among bari players.”

The new Vandoren V16 baritone sax mouthpieces are currently available in limited quantities and can be ordered from any authorized Vandoren dealer.
