I wish I had a VI. I have a Belcrest that arrived on Wednesday, and my son (he plays Alto) is going to teach me how to play it. It came with a Rousseau 4 and some very old reeds - 1968 I believe. He was able to take it out of the case and play it without a problem and it really sounded good. He uses it to play jazz. We bought some La Voz reeds late last night and we're going to give them a try today. Anyway, the Rousseau mpc is an excellent choice.A Greene said:
