I have used Lakey for 7* so I like the sound on that one and I have on tenor a V16 8* metal och that is a good one and I think that won this contest but in your hands its all good!

I may be a bit biased as someone who has played on a couple of these mouthpieces. But to me the Vandoren and the Meyer sound similar but the Meyer has a slightly more straight-ahead balanced tone. Interesting because that v16 is much more expensive mouthpiece. I’ve played on a Lakey before and I find it to be very bright. But then again how one plays and one’s reed selection can also impact sound as well. I’m currently playing a Meyer 5M. I’m interested in keeping the same tone but a bit larger sound…so I was thinking about trying a Meyer with a larger opening.

Meyeeeeeeeer! Your sound was left with a lot of harmonics! Excellent combination

The Meyer, no doubt ! I have the same, and the vintage one. Otherwise depending on the situation, I play, Ponzol EBO 75, Guardala King, Theo Wanne Gaia, Jodi 6M, but mainly the Meyer and the Theo Wanne.... Each mouthpiece adjusted with its own reed strength that I find the best fit. With a trend towards Legere, I use bamboo reeds less and less.

I play on a purple label yas-62 myself, always been a fan of the Claude lakey. Pretty huge sound and cut through with that mouthpiece. Fits the yas-62 really well imo

Haha, Loved the face at 7:08. Aside from that I feel like no matter which mouthpiece, one can still hear the overall brightness that is typical for those older Yamaha horns. Would love to hear you on a Vintage Selmer or vintage American Horn. To my ears the Meyer was the clear winner. I might be biased though, as I have been playing a 6M Meyer for the past 15 years and only recently compared it to seven other mouthpieces only to notice that it is still the best one I own. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Great playing. Like the energetic delivery style as usual. Would like to try one of these horns as they have such a good reputation. The Lakey sounds a touch thinner sounding to me though. You did not really say why you are no longer so happy with the Lakey? Maybe I missed it.

I prefer the Meyer. I guess because it has that certain sound that I associate with the alto I heard on recordings.

Why did you go from the Eastman to the Yamaha? Thanks for a very interesting comparison. If you want to put out some money, try Ted Klum´s Yard Bird metal. I play an 8, but the openings are 6, 7, 8.

Sounds great! I like the Meyer 5. I used to play one until switching to a Meyer 7. A darker sound with more resistance. Do you still play the Eastman? I have one and really like it but sometimes go back to my other horn.

I’ve pretty much stuck to the Yamaha. But i still have the Eastman!!

It seemed like that the vandoren sounded too much low on volume in comparision and it's strange, maybe It was really the reed's strenght fault.

I am seriously considering the Claude Lakey 5*3 and Vandoren V16 A7S. Both the Claude Lakey and Vandoren V16 sound awesome on your YAS-62. The V16 A5S+ seems to have a softer warmer...smokier sound while the 4*4 seems to be brighter with more volume. Hearing the two in this video, I will probably go for the Vandoren V16 A7S+ I am considering.

Hello Brian ! I recommend vandoren a 5 !!
