Re: Weinberg mouthpieces

The Vandoren Crystal mouthpieces were indeed made for Vandoren by Pomerico in Italy. However the design of the VD A1, A2 and A3 were uniquely made to Vandoren specifications and so I understand that Pomerico are not allowed to replicate these exact models in their own range.

The Vandoren crystals were discontinued quite a few years ago now but they occasionally show up on "that site".
The A2 seems to be the most commonly found. I have several versions of the A1 and A2 plus one A3 (acquired with a Buffet RC a few years back).

My personal preference is for the A1 but sometimes the A2 comes in handy to use goodish reeds that are a tad too soft on the A1.
