Re: The Vandoren B40 in the concertgebouw

I played the B40 for several years with #3 VD Traditional reeds--great combination. I switched to this (more open) mouthpiece from a B40 Lyre when I had to play a solo work with multiphonics. Overall a very reliable mouthpiece: nice/big sound, good response, and precise intonation.

I gradually found it to be a bit resistant and have switched to a Backun Arabesque which I find to be even better for me as it has a more expansive sound and blows with less resistance as it has a longer facing. I'm using Pilgerstorfer Dolce #4 or #4 1/2 reeds with it. I would recommend this mouthpiece to anyone considering a B40 or Viotto B3.

I also notice that Patey is now playing with a Silverstein Prelude ligature and appears to have some extensive keyword added to his Buffet Tosca (?), presumably to correct low E-F intonation. Good to see that he can hold his own using this "French" setup with the other "German" players who appear to be using Oehler or Reform Boehm setups.
