Review: 75 years later: Vandoren SM812S+ A6S+ V16 alto mouthpiece vs 1950 New York Meyer 5 medium chamber. - I have been playing a New York Meyer on my alto for the last 45 years. It is such a fantastic mouthpiece that I cringe at the thought of damaging or losing it. It is irreplaceable - or so I thought. I have been checking out Baptiste Herbin who is promoting Vandoren. His sound is very similar to mine but clearly has a better altissimo. I therefore ordered the V16 alto SM811S+ A5S+ and the SM812S+ A6S+ to check it out for myself. Although Baptiste plays the A5S+, I found the A6S+ to play better for me coming off a Meyer. Over the years I’ve tried many mouthpieces. I even had the honor of playing Cannonball Adderley’s Meyer that he played for most of his career - which by the way has a terrible altissimo. This is the very first time that I have fallen in love with a different mouthpiece and have actually switched - mouthpiece infidelity! The SM812S+ A6S+ has a wider dynamic range than my Meyer, but I can still subtone low notes. The best characteristic is the improvement in my altissimo which I have only experienced with metal mouthpieces in the past. Overall the altissimo notes are easier to play, but my range has increased despite playing a soft JAVA red 2 1/2 reed. It plays up to altissimo E whereas my Meyer topped out at D and struggled to reach an Eb. With the V16 I can force out even higher notes, but I hit them inconsistently. I’m okay with E being my every day range limit, but perhaps my range will increase over time - I’ll let you know. In summary, the SM812S+ A6S+ V16 alto mouthpiece plays better than my New York Meyer 5 medium chamber made in the 1950’s that I played for the last 45 years. It is more responsive than my Meyer. The altissimo speaks easier despite a soft reed and my range is increased without having the undesirable characteristics of a metal mouthpiece or a harder reed.

Sound is bright. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mouthpiece!! *by B***V on March 4, 2023* I read a lot about this model of mouthpiece and I was thinking of getting A5 s+ or A6. I went with A5s+ and I can only say go for it! Such an amazing mouthpiece, great and fast response and it’s so easy to play. I have vintage Conn Naked Lady sax, I play mostly Jazz, Big Band, Funk, Hip Hop music. Highly recommend this mouthpiece. I would definitely buy one for my tenor, just don’t know which one, any recommendations? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/81506767-sm811s-v16-alto-saxophone-mouthpiece-a5s](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/81506767-sm811s-v16-alto-saxophone-mouthpiece-a5s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
