Vandoren V16 Gold-Plated Metal Tenor Sax Mouthpiece
The VanDoren V16 Tenor saxophone metal mouthpiece is a gold-plated alloy piece with a wonderfully big and warm sound with plenty of power. It has a relatively long rail curvature which makes it a little easier to blow than its tip opening measurement would suggest.  It is superbly made and the optional Optimum ligature is the most effective and easy to use lig on the market.

Yanagisawa Silver-Plated Metal Tenor Sax Mouthpiece
(with ligature and cap)
The Yanagisawa Metal mouthpiece is a little brighter without being difficult to blow. It produces more power than the VanDoren but still plays big bottom notes. It has a more conventional rail length so it blows as you would expect from its tip opening measurement. It is a silver-plated mouthpiece with a conventional 2-screw ligature. Exceptionally well made and a piece I have played personally. NOTE: Yanagisawa are now supplying white plastic caps. We will ship silver plated caps for as long as our inventory of these lasts.
