New Vandoren magazine

Vandoren has recently come out with a small magazine telling of
different thing they do and that are of interest to clarinet players.
In the recent one, #2, one of their famous clarinet players gives some
hints on reed choosing.
It is Guy Deplus. He says in part: Robert Vandoren used to say: "A reed
has to be run in like a car if one wants it to last."
Sometimes I make the mistake of finding the right reed and play it
immediately.
It usually should be left alone one or two days and then picked up and
moistened again.
Robert Vandoren used to say" wet but don't play it"
When you start a new reed do not play high-pitched notes or staccato
because it tires the reed.

One can write Vandoren and ask to be sent this magazine, or get it from
your dealer.
The e-mail address is:jmpaul@-----.com
The recent edition has a picture done by our Cindy Fields. It was done
with a V12 reed. A beautiful picture.
