Re: New Vandoren BD6 HD

I tried it a few weeks ago. They had it in BD4, BD5, and BD6. It seems like they'll be adding more to the HD line, but don't quote me.

It was definitely heavier than comparable standard BD5 and BD4 models. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the Zinner heavy hard rubber mouthpieces, so I can't make a comparison. I'd say I preferred it slightly more than my BD5, (the BD5 HD that I tried) but it wasn't substantial enough for me to want to make a switch. I would say the BD6 projected more and had a more focused sound. I believe the Vandoren show room has them to try.

Overall they seem promising, but nothing I am jumping to switch over to.
