Re: Anyone tried new Vandoren BD7?

Tried and bought it!
I used BD-5 for more than 2 years, very satisfied with it, but I was now looking for a bigger sound (especially in altissimo register) and for a mouthpiece that doesn't get the reed "closed" right after a few minutes...et voila!
BD7 maybe is a bit resistant but the sound is so full, round and tone is pretty dark (i'd like it darker...); it's surely powerful but still good in pianissimo as well.
Using a not too hard reed it's well confortable; harder reeds get my lips tired.
Furthermore, probably thanks to that kind of opening with long facing, I found it very reed friendly.
