Hello Fabian,

It=B4s a little bit split minded to answer in Englisch but I think it=B4s the
proper way to do so. I think I=B4ll try them for some days and then tell You
more about it but the seem to be quite usable. When I tried the reeds on th=
e
Musikmesse I had only my Zinner mouthpiece with me and used a Clemens
Wurlitzer Clarinet to play. Mr. Wurlitzer and I came after a short time to
the conclusion that the sound in the deep register up to the g2 is
absolutely alright but above g2 it sounded a little bit unnatural.
Playing the reed on my usual material: H. Wurlitzer 100c they sounded in my
private exercise room ok but I heard relatively often waterbubbles and it
was not a really open sound and not so "multidimensional as my best reeds
do. But this is the point. It so far ok for practicing but at time I would
not use it as a solo reed.

Further information will follow.

Best Georg=20
