Sorry it took me so long to reply; the Klarinet digests that pile up
after every weekend take me a few days to catch up on.

Usually I play 3 1/2 V12s and 3 1/2 or sometimes 4 in Zondas. I've
found that a 3 3/4 Legere works well for me.

I just got a 2 1/2 Legere alto sax reed, and it's a bit hard for my
Selmer C** mouthpiece. Anyone have a 2 or 2 1/4 to trade?

Claudia
