Re: New Vandoren Mouthpiece

I tried the prototype a little more than a year ago, and several from their first delivered batch last week. In my opinion they play extremely even across all registers and have a very warm, covered and velvety sound. However, this might come at the cost of (less) overtones and projection, and they felt a little too dull for my personal taste. Articulation and legato was very comfortable. If I would compare them to other mouthpieces I've tried, I would say they are somewhat similar in playing style to Nick Kuckmeier's PlayEasy mouthpieces. I haven't tried the new vandoren in ensembles, orchestra or in large halls, so I cannot comment on how they work in those settings.
