Re: Vandoren Black Diamond

Well I for one find that it does not HELP to create the more "pingy" sound that I want, not that you can't. There is (or was) a "Vandoren TV" video of some top French player trying out a Vandoren M30 and he sounded quite lovely on it.

I recently had a student switch to an M30 (without mentioning it to me.....I guess I should have noticed). From that time, the student sounded stuffy and seemed to struggle to get more center from the sound. I have tried to point that out but the "newness" of it is captivating. I don't know what else to do........so I am currently frustrated with them (as you can understand).

That all said, the M30s are the ONLY Vandorens (and the D version of course) I can think of (and besides the Black Diamond I have not seen yet) that feature the particularly thick rails.

I would also hasten to add the Masters CL4 to the list of exceptional Vandorens (with the traditionally more closed classical facings).

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