Re: Vandoren V21

I just got mine today, and played them all for a bit. Of the 10 of them, 3 were NOTICEABLY softer than the rest, but nothing unworkable (in fact, there are several spots in the show I'm currently playing where I think that'd work to my advantage).

The other 7, without doing a single thing to them, adjustment-wise, I would use at work in a heartbeat, right out of the wrapper. They are (other than the aforementioned 3) remarkably consistent, easy to articulate on, and they sound GREAT with my mouthpiece (Vandoren B40D). I'm looking forward to seeing how they hold up over the next couple weeks of heavy playing.

I normally play 56s, and these do seem to have a bit more bass in the sound, with equally good response. It's been a very long time since I've played a blue-box or a V12, so I can't really give a fair comparison there.
