Yes OF COURSE they're ALL French cut (the Vandorens). I'm refering to the
material that's scored, but not removed above the filed bark area (for the
regular cut). The V-12's bark is filed down a lot more then the regular cut.

The regular Vandoren's in my case are French cut. And they are aged a
couple of years.
