The Vandoren OPTIMUM Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece provides a robust yet nuanced tone through an innovative mouthpiece design. Created for today's baritone saxophonists, the OPTIMUM mouthpiece features a larger tip opening for a free-blowing and quick-to-respond feel with precise dynamic control. A Customized Sound Through Innovative Mouthpiece Design The OPTIMUM mouthpiece utilizes a specialized interior and exterior design to produce a distinctive tone quality immediately recognizable as Vandoren. The larger tip opening provides baritone saxophonists a broad range of tonal possibilities to craft their unique sound. An open, resonant sound is balanced with clear articulation for a tone equally suited to classical and jazz styles. Responsive and Free-Blowing for Effortless Playability An optimized mouthpiece shape and contour create a mouthpiece that is responsive, open and free-blowing. Little effort is required to produce a robust baritone saxophone tone, allowing musicians to focus on expression and phrasing. The OPTIMUM mouthpiece's quick response and balanced resistance make extended techniques like altissimo, multiphonics and slap tonguing more easily achieved. Larger Tip Opening Provides a Robust Tone with Dynamic Control A wider tip opening gives baritone saxophonists access to a broader range of tonal colors and dynamics. Moving between pianissimo and fortissimo requires only subtle embouchure adjustments, providing precise control over volume and tone. The larger tip opening also aids in producing rich low notes as well as clear and projecting high notes across the baritone saxophone's range. An Elegant and Ergonomic Design for Playing Comfort An ergonomic, contoured shape provides a comfortable mouthpiece that reduces fatigue over long playing sessions. The OPTIMUM mouthpiece's design considers both tonal qualities as well as the physicality of playing, ensuring an effortless experience for baritone saxophonists.
