Vandoren Optimum AL5 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece

The Vandoren AL5 carries the same classical voice as the rest of the Optimum alto series but opens the tip slightly for a freer, more flexible response. That larger tip opening balances beautifully with number 3 reeds, giving players a touch more air and dynamic range while preserving the round, centered tone the Optimum line is known for. Built on Vandoren's research into external shape and acoustics, the AL5 suits classical and advancing players who want refined projection with a little more openness than the AL3 offers.
