### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 75 years later: Vandoren SM812S+ A6S+ V16 alto mouthpiece vs 1950 New York Meyer 5 medium chamber.
*by D***T on January 27, 2025*

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.
