Re: Vandoren White Masters

Thank you Liquorice for putting me straight. It was the reed supplier's literature that put me on the wrong track (they say White are for Austrians) but the Vandoren paperwork clearly shows White being associated with German mouthpieces. And the point concerning the relative length of the facing is also something I had not considered, and that could explain a lot.

I am still confused however by the difference between Black and White. If Black suits Austrian mouthpieces, why does it play so much softer? Do Austrian mouthpieces have ultra short lays even compared to German ones?

On the general point about whether White Masters actually play on the larger non-German type mouthpiece, the answer is that they do play rather well, perhaps very well, but the mouthpiece I am refering to has a close lay, so they probably do not suit anything that is more open.
