Vandoren Optimum Alto Saxophone Mouthpieces

As the mouthpiece of choice for classical saxophonists around the world, the Optimum series provides ease of emission, precise articulation, and a rich even tone. The conception of this series stems from research on the external shape (particularly the beak or bite plate) the shape of the facing, and sound. All of this was done in order to meet the demands of today’s saxophone players.

The Optimum series is the favorite mouthpiece among many of the nation’s finest performers and saxophone professors including Dr. Chien Kwan Lin (Eastman School of Music), Dr. Steven Mauk (Ithaca College), Steve Stusek (North Carolina Greensboro), Susan Fancher (Duke University), and Angela Wyatt (University of Minnesota).
