Re: Vandoren's date for introduction of 442 MP's ?

Well 440 vs 442 is a bit subjective as mouthpieces taken in isolation have no defined pitch.
However as I understand it the "440" pitch (or more correctly a pitch approx 2 Hz lower than their then currently produced mouthpieces) was always designated by the "13" series.

I suspect that most older VD mouthpieces were effectively 440 as the creeping growth of pitch in Europe (excluding Germany / Vienna) is a relatively recent occurrence.

Wish I knew why !
