Re: Vandoren M30 and M15

Hi Paul,

I have been opening the top of the facing curve to make it respond better for me and to open up the sound a bit. I've also been slightly scooping the baffle and chamber to darken the tone quality slightly. Its basically the same mouthpiece that Jerry Hall and I did for the WWBW that Hans Zinner was making.

I've been looking for a good blank so I can produce my own mouthpiece as well as Jerry's JC2 (I regret I haven't got the funds to have my own core made). The Vandoren M13 is the closest to the baffle and chamber that I want so it requires less hand work from me. I've got about five of my students or former students playing on these now and they seem to be having good success with it.

Best - Scott
