Vandoren OPTIMUM Alto Saxophone Mouthpieces

The favourite of classical saxophonists.

The conception of this series was the fruit of research on both external shape (particularly the beak) and sound, in order to meet the needs of today’s saxophone players.

• Tip opening: 152 (1/100ths mm)
• Facing: Medium Long
• Characteristics: The ultimate classical mouthpiece

AL4

• Tip opening: 163+ (1/100ths mm)
• Facing: Medium Short
• Characteristics: Very similar to the classical standard of the AL3 model (SM711) but more open

AL5

• Tip opening: 168 (1/100ths mm)
• Facing: Medium - Long
• Characteristics: This mouthpiece has all of the same sound qualities of the AL3 with a slightly larger tip opening. It offers a perfect balance with number 3 reeds
