I'm in love with this mouthpiece!
Diego d'A. 20.01.2022
I am learning tenor saxophone and, as many others like me, I am trying several different combinations of mouthpiece and reed to achieve the sound I like and a comfortable playing experience. For some odd reason (I cannot really put my finger on it, though...) I had avoided Vandoren mouthpieces until now. Then, after listening to a couple of well-crafted videos on Youtube where the Jumbo Java (which is the other version of this mouthpiece, brighter and with a higher baffle) was put to a test, I got curious and gave the Java a try. And I must say, I am loving it!

The piece is very responsive, works perfectly with the reeds I am using (Legere Signature and D'Addario Select Jazz), and produces a sound that leans a bit toward the bright, but not too much. I also have the impression that it leaves much room to different sound styles.
In my opinion (as a non-expert) and given the price, this is a real bargain when compared to similar hard rubber pieces (e.g. Jody's HR* or Meyer). I am so satisfied with it, that it has become my main mouthpiece!

Toller Allrounder
AndreasKiel 17.09.2018
Das Vandoren Java T55 ist ein sehr gutes Allround-Mundstück mit einer exzellenten Ansprache und sehr guten Intonation. Es produziert einen kräftigen, warmen und dunklen Tenorsound, ohne dabei muffig zu klingen. Auch die obere Oktave bis hinauf zum notierten fis3 klingt sehr rund und ausgewogen. Mir gefällt besonders, dass es über den gesamten Tonumfang seine Klangcharakteristik beibehält. Da haben andere hochpreisige und -gepriesene Mundstücke teilweise ihre Probleme mit.
Ich habe es auf einem Jk Toneking Special, einem JK New King (Engelsflügel) und Yamaha YTS 62 getestet. An den oben beschriebenen Eigenschaften des Mundstückes hat sich nichts geändert. Die Verarbeitung ist vandorentypisch tadellos.
Und meinen Dank an das Thomann ?Team. Abwicklung und Versand war mal wieder in Rekordzeit erledigt.

Funky

Muy buena boquilla, con un sonido brillante pero no tanto como una boquilla metalica. buena respuesta en todo el registro especialmente en los graves.

La emisión del sonido es muy fácil.Especial para Pop, Blues, Funky y jazz.

Boquilla muy polivalente y facil de dominar.
