Re: Filed vs unfiled

Dear Tony,

I was never one to even have much success with balancing a reed properly so I don't think I'd be the one to try my own filing.

But I did pull out examples of each Vandoren (Standard cut, Rue Lepic 56, and V21) to verify that the description of the poster was correct.

Beyond that I rely on my MEMORY of years of playing on each of these (the last four years have been dedicated to plastic), and those experiences match up with what was posted as well.

This is not to say that you cannot get every sort of response out of ONE cut configuration based on other factors, but merely that within the confines of Vandoren, their particular cuts, and a particular strength...........the average performance over time IS as described.

I could not be more surprised! No one had ever brought this to my attention before.

Again, many thanks to "KDK" for at least putting this out into the ether.

..................Paul Aviles
