 Re: Similar mouthpieces??

The Vandoren mouthpieces I've measured are rarely as short as 16 mm. I think last time I measured one of their "medium ling" mouthpieces it was 18 mm. I think (but am not sure) that medium would be more like 17 mm and medium short might be 16 mm, although in my experience lengths shorter than 16 mm are custom facings. I've never run into one on a standard mass-produced French-style mouthpiece.

A millimeter, btw, makes a noticeable difference in a mouthpiece's feel. So, IMO, the difference between 16 mm and 17 mm isn't insignificant.
