Re: What was so special about Chedeville mouthpieces?

Ruben, your friend at Vandoren was correct- there are many different design parameters involved and the various mouthpieces from the Chedeville name (and the many many other names that used a blank from Chedeville- blanks that varied greatly in design and quality).
I strongly suggest reading the Brad Behn information on this- it's relatively brief and general but a very good introduction. And you can trust that the facts he presents are accurate, which is not always the case.
The "good" mouthpieces from the old manufacturers are only an improvement on the modern ones if they have a facing you can manage, and if you are a player who values the qualities they offer. I have several mouthpieces from the pre WW2 era and they all have a much brighter sound, but a brightness that is also warm and glowing. This is a core sound quality that I like and value, but I've never subbed in a section where I would be encouraged to sound like this, and the orchestra I play Principal for has a MD who does NOT encourage that kind of sound.
