RE: Mouthpieces

Ann, I hope this helps with the 2RV/5RV confusion. Many years ago, the mouthpiece sold by Vandoren in the US as the 2RV was the same facing as the mouthpiece sold by Vandoren for the French domestic market as the 5RV. If your 2RV is an old one made for the American market, its facing will be about like the modern 5RV. The 2RV which Hiroshi refers to (closer facing than the 5RV) is no doubt the "French" (or Japanese?) 2RV. In response to the changing demands of the market, Vandoren later developed several facings with tip openings wider than the 5RV, such as the popular B45.
