Yes, Gigliotti used them for a while - I can't remember if it was in the late '60s or early '70s, but there was an issue with the distributor and Vandorens weren't available for several months, maybe longer. Gigliotti started using Luries and, I think, soon after he started using them the #5-1/2 was added to the line. Gigliotti, however, didn't like the unfiled shoulders, so he hand-cut the bark back to a straight line "French" style cut.
