What chamber and baffle would you classify a Vandoren T75 V16 Metal Tenor Saxophone mouthpiece as?

I think it is a med-big chamber with a long rollover bafle. But, for me, it plays brighter than this desing seems to be, maybe is the material...Trying to use for all, no problems to play R&R and have litle problems playing standards, litle bright for this. Now I'm changing reeds: V16 to play R&R, and BlueBox to play standards.

It also has straight side walls rather than the scooped type on a Link so the chamber is smaller than a Link.

I am told that this mouthpiece is based on a Hollywood Dukoff that a player brought to Vandoren. This from a reliable source.
I have to say that in 30 years of playing I consider it the overall best tenor mouthpiece I have ever used. The only one I have used that I can play both on electric and acoustic gigs with ease (although I generally use my Lawton with the electric band).
I got a Selmer metal lig for it though because as good as the optimum is I find if I loosen it it slips off the mouthpiece where with the Selmer I can loosen a little and adjust the reed placement very quickly and easily on a gig.[/code]
