Have been playing a Vandoren V16 A8 alto sax mouthpiece for a little while now.
V16 A6M Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece
It has a medium chamber- it’s the same specifications I have on the tenor mouthpiece that I really like.
The other mouthpieces I have for alto are a Jody Jazz and a Selmer piece that I got with a horn I bought.
I play the V16 mouthpiece with a medium strength reed and it seems to project pretty well. Haven’t tried a metal piece yet on alto.
Does anyone have any other recommendations?
Figure I’ll try some mouthpieces at the NAMM show.

Besides using my Ducoff D9 for Alto,I use occationly Vandoren Jumbo A35 mouth piece( not sure if they ever make them any more) I like it a lot for the great power,quick response and great for altissimo .

Hey Nizam, cool, I know a lot of people like the Dukoffs. Vandoren has made some good mouthpieces lately. I use one on my clarinet too.
