Staff Review

"The Vandoren Optimum is a great choice for classical players looking for a more free-blowing mouthpiece with maximum dynamic output, while still producing a warm sound. This would be a great choice for players looking for a focused sound with both great control and flexibility in dynamic range. The sound is generally very focused and uncomplicated, which makes it a great option for those looking for a sound that blends well with other instruments. Alternatively, this would be a great mouthpiece for solo players or those looking to fill larger spaces with their sound without too much effort. The Optimum is a great mouthpiece for classical students looking for their first upgrade or advancing students and professionals in a range of settings." - Lucy
