Re: V12's

Sorry to disagree with all of you, but I am still having good playing results with the VD V12 soprano clarinet reeds--3.5/4.0 on either my Ithica Bay custom mpc with a Kaspar #14 facing or my vintage Chicago Kaspar #14. When I play either of my Greg Smith mpcs--Cicero or Chedeville 1*--I need to play a slightly stonger reed, 4.0/4.5. Although they are finicky and need lots of TLC, over-all, I am still pleased with the VanDoren V12 reeds and continue to use them. (Ligature, VD Optimum with the parallel rail insert)

However, on bass clarinet and all of my saxs, it's currently all Legere.
