Subj: [kl] Vandoren B 45 Dot
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 17:37:50 -0500

I recently bought a Vandoren B 45 Dot. It plays a bit stuffier than my
regular B45. Vandoren's web site claimed it has a larger chamber than the
regular B45. I measured that B 45 Dot in every concievable dimention. If
anything it is very slightly smaller than the B 45! I might add that I'm a
professional machinist in my 50's...I'm quite sure of my measurements. What
gives?
