Re: The Vandoren Masters Mothpiece Specs Are In

Of course! Thank you, cxgreen.

These numbers help me out a little bit, since some of my students may come into a lesson with these mouthpieces. I need at least some preliminary information on how to fit these mouthpieces.

I agree that Vandoren does a pretty good job on indicating the reed size needed. However, the length of the facing can be very helpful in matching the cut of the reed. The length of the vamp usually is the most dependent factor in what reeds to use. The thickness of the blank however is usually a more personal decision and can really go both ways.

This is in my experience only, and of course may work differently for others. But generally, some general categories of mouthpieces take to certain reeds better than others.
