Dai and Larson [Mem. Amer. Math. Soc.134 (1998), no. 640] obtained a family of wavelet sets using the Journé wavelet set. In this paper, we expand this family and call its members to be generalized Journé wavelet sets. Furthermore, with the help of these wavelet sets, we provide a class of non-MSF wavelets which includes the one constructed by Vyas [Bull. Polish Acad. Sci. Math.57 (2009) 33–40]. Most of these non-MSF wavelets are found to be non-MRA.
