Re: Sale on Vandoren Masters mouthpiece kits

Author: gwie  Date:   2015-12-03 08:20 I actually rather dislike the 13 series of Vandoren mouthpieces, regardless of the model they always played super-flat for me; back in college when I had a M15 (13 series) I had to get a shorter barrel to keep it in tune, then eventually got a regular non-13 series M15. If these are the 442 ones, like the regular lineup of Vandoren mouthpieces, then that's a good thing. Yes, these are ones with the funny body shape where the M/O ligature fits it like a glove. However, I've tried Rovner and other fabric ligatures on it and they work just fine. The M/O ligature itself is not bad, though I prefer a properly-shaped Bonade. I tried the CL4 when it first came out, and it's a pretty nice mouthpiece. Nowadays, I generally recommend one of the D'Addario Reserve (X0/X5/x10) mouthpieces to students upgrading from their beginner equipment, but these are a steal at $35 for both the mouthpiece and ligature. I went ahead and got one of each color.
