Re: set up suggestions

While a "darker" sound may be sought by using Vandoren V-12's or Grand Concert Evolutions, I think there is no reason they couldn't sound very good with their current set-ups. I'd work with embouchures, air support, and tonal concepts before changing equipment. (Keep in mind that this comment is coming from someone who makes mouthpieces and endorses a reed, so I'm not adverse to changing equipment.)
If the students have a private instructor, please respect that teacher's opinions. You can damage your relationship with an important ally for your program if you decide to change his/her student's set-ups without his/her consent.
