I'm shocked. I just noticed that the Vandoren Eb clarinet reed on my
Vandoren B44 Eb mouthpiece does not match the rails at all at the tip.
The reed is much narrower, the outside edge of the rails at the tip
being 13.00mm apart and the widest part at the tip of the reed is
12.00mm. Wouldn't you think that the same company would make their
reeds match their mouthpieces? Or at least make some kind of
accomodation so you could trim them to fit? I guess this is why a lot
of people use Bb reeds and trim them down to fit. Any suggestions aside
from that one?
