Another MP Question

Author: CarlT
Date: 2015-03-29 23:27

I really hesitate to even bring this up, but I can't seem to find an answer from my searches here.

I'm an intermediate player with an R13 and use #3 Legere Signature or Vandy #3 V12 reeds.

I seem to get the best tone with a Vandoren M13 Lyre (series 13), or a Vandy M15 (again 13 series); however, I'm almost always flat on E4 and F4. I seem to have read recently that this is not untypical for the 13 series MPs.

My question is if I bought the same MPs above in a non-series 13, would that help the problem?

Are the "non-13 Series" MPs tuned to 442? If so, that might correct the problem with E4 and F4, but cause sharpness in other notes, right?

I don't have a problem with the clarion register being flat at all, so I'm wondering if it might have to do with my R13 instead of the Vandy MPs?

Any help will be appreciated.
