Vandoren VMC6 Mouthpiece Cushions; Clear; Thin; 0.35mm/.014"; Pack of 6

I’m a professional Clarinet , and I think these are the best Mouthpiece Cushions I have ever bought. I tried before many Cushions companies for my Clarinet mouthpiece and they were not durable as the Vandoren mouth Cushions. First of all they last longer the material and quality is very solid and it’s very thin which what I like to have on my clarinet mouthpiece and it’s very affordable. I recommend to buy Vandoren products for cushions more than other products because believe me this product is the best and don’t waste your money on other products because these are the best mouthpiece Cushions.

Hold up well, been using one for a few months now and I don’t see any wear or tear on it yet. One will last you for very long. Helps my teeth from damage and my clarinet as well. Serves it’s purpose well

I have developed towering respect for Vandoren out of my own experience with their products over the decades. Why? they design things intelligently, they have proven they must have excellent quality control, and their quality products are ones I've come to rely upon. That includes these mouthpiece pads. (Funny side story; I stupidly thought I'd save money and buy cheap pads from China. Nope. How could they get them wrong I thought? Well the Boao branded pads are to be avoided like a plague. They don't know adhesive. You can read my review over their if you want, but don't waste your time). But then there is Vandoren and Vandoren knows what they're doing. That's why I have now returned to them and pay their price. Super. They just work. Vandoren knows about the right adhesive. Their mouthpieces are some of the best for the money anywhere on planet earth. Their reeds are consistently top-drawer quality. If i sound like a fan of Vandoren it's because I don't like being screwed by shabby manufacturing. Vandoren is the opposite. They're simply great.

A bit overpriced b,ut they absolutely do the job well and look nice

Great pads. They are definitely thicker than I anticipated, but I actually liked it much better and found it to be more protective.

I played sax for over a decade with just the mp, no pad, so I doubted these would be very beneficial, but they really make a big quality of life improvement. Easy to install, comfortable, and appear to last a long time (at least for me). I have been practicing a couple of hours a day for about 3 weeks now and I'm still using the 1st one - still looks good as new. Do your gnashers a favor and get these!

I recommend this product to all of my students and play exclusively with vandoren mouthpiece patches and reeds! I have used these to play on alto sax, soprano sax, tenor sax, and clarinet and it has worked great for all of them!

I started with a different brand but they were so thick they were distracting, so I switched to these for use with my 5RV Lyre. I still bite but I don't feel like I'm damaging the mouthpiece now and it's thin enough that I don't think about it when playing. It was easy to apply and reapply after goofing up the placement first time around. It's held up well through 3 months of (almost) daily play.

Vandoren always produce high quality products at a fair price. Will buy again

Excellente qualité, dure longtemps et aucun goût de caoutchouc comme d’autres marques. Facile à repositionner sur le bec.

J'ai acheté ces protège bec pour mon bec vandoren rv5lyre et je dois avouer que c'est l'un des plus agréables que j'ai pu installer. Il est d'une épaisseur agréable. Les dents s'y posent parfaitement. Il ne s'use pas trop vite. Le seul bémol serait son prix par rapport à d'autres marques mais là aussi vandoren est tout de même une marque de qualité comme l'on peut se rendre compte avec les hanches. Par contre un excellent point pour amazon et son vendeur où je l'ai acheté à un tarif inférieur à ceux proposés en magasin spécialisé dans l'agglomération orléanaise.

Credo siano i migliori salva bocchino anche se costosi, sono molto resistenti e hanno un spessore relativamente basso, forse il più basso sul mercato! Li consiglio a tutti i sassofonisti!

Bis jetzt sind dies die besten Bissplättchen, die ich je im Einsatz hatte. Das Material ist geschmacksneutral, mit 0,3mm für mich ideal, um zum einen die Schneidezähne vor Vibrationen und meine Mundstücke vor Oberflächenschäden zu bewahren, und um zum anderen den Kontakt zum Saxophon nicht zu verlieren. Problematisch waren meine letzten Bissplättchen gleicher Stärke von Yamaha, die ich mir als Ersatz für die verbrauchten Vandoren-Plättchen gekauft hatte. Diese lösten sich innerhalb einer Viertelstunde von meinem “Standard-Immerdrauf“ Jody Jazz Giant, weil die Feuchtigkeit das Plättchen unterwanderte und den Kleber unwirksam machte. Während eines Auftritts eine plötzliche Rutschpartie auf dem Mundstück hinzulegen, ist äußerst irritierend. Ob das Oberflächenfinish des Mundstücks (Aluminium, schwarz, satiniert lackiert) dafür verantwortlich ist, wäre möglich. Werde die übrigen Yamaha-Plättchen auf meinen Kautschuk-Mundstücken ausprobieren, wenn die im Einsatz befindlichen aufgegeben haben ... Die Vandoren VMC6(0) halten dagegen auf Anhieb bombenfest auf dem Jody Jazz und werden im Vergleich zu dickeren Stärken nicht so schnell von den Zähnen durchgearbeitet. Anfänglich ist die Oberfläche der Plättchen noch verhältnismäßig glatt und rutschig, jedoch verliert sich das relativ schnell. Habe mir gleich zwei Päckchen zugelegt, um vor weiteren Negativerfahrungen länger verschont zu bleiben.
