Hello Derek,

Many clarinet-players here in The Netherlands, who are playing Reform-Boehm
Wurlitzer clarinets, i.e.: with German cut mouthpieces, play the Black Masters.
I don't...
The black masters are especcialy made for the Austrian cut mouthpieces, and I do
not think, they are the same as your French cut mouthpieces... but try it,
maybe it works, but it wasn't made for using on French mouthpieces...

yours,
Jeroen T. Salm
