Dave Renaud,

I have a Selmer 33 bass clarinet. I use a Morgan "D" facing mpc that I just love. I have 35 years of reed adjustment knowledge. I would gladly kiss all that farting around with reeds goodby. Do you have any experience with his bass
clarinet reeds? In your opinion, do you think the sound would be as good as the best well broken in, burnished and balanced reed I could muster? I'm interested only in the very best sound quality.
