Re: Thoughts on Vandoren Masters?

I'm going to make a blanket statement about crystal mouthpieces that Pomarico won't like. It is VERY difficult to 'work' crystal, therefore they lack constancy one to another. If you do actually find one that works great, the problem is that you may spend the rest of your life looking for another that works when (yes, I say when) that one breaks.

DON'T DO IT

Vandoren makes a multitude of different facings and models. Vandoren is the most consistent mass produced mouthpiece you can find. By that I mean, you'd have to try five or six of exactly the same facing to find one that DOESN'T work so well.

Now there are plenty of other makers even custom makers (refacers that take existing blanks, mostly from Zinner of Germany) that make reasonably priced mouthpieces, but you will find more differences from one to another of exactly the same facing. That does not make them worse, it just means you need to TRY THEM OUT.
