Re: Vandoren Masters Mouthpiece Tuning Rings

You're missing a lot here.

The Masters tuning rings were designed when the original Master's mouthpiece was released because the originals (and I own a CL5) were made to play at 442. The purpose of the ring is to go over the tenon of the mouthpiece to make it longer and play at 440 (Vandoren gave me them also when they gave me the CL5 back in 2013) A year or so later the 13 series was released to correct this. Though it should be said that the only difference as far as i'm aware is the depth in the chamber of the 13 series, this helps drop the pitch but not compromise on the original design etc.
