>I have one of these mcs in a 5RV facing which I used for a while. They are
made from a different
blank than the traditional Vandoren mpcs. They are supposedly tuned to the
American standard
A440. I found that when I played on this mpc., I had to use a shorter
barrel to play in tune. They play
with a much darker sound than the traditional Vandoren. Imo they are worth
trying.
