<< 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?

Ed...

Sorry, I missed your post. What gives? I'll tell you what...really POOR
quality control, and the refusal to throw out what is clearly a defective
product. I'm sure your measurements are right, and I'm sure that IF someone
at Vandoren is measuring these things, they're not 1/10 as careful at
measuring as you are!

Makes me mad. People wind up with these things, then go thru all kinds of
contortions trying to play on them....

Grrrrrrrrr
