Re: Bass clarinet reeds

No experiance, here, on the ACs. As for the comparison chart question, I do not think that the soprano guidelines would hold true for the bass clarinet as the embouchure and resistance issues are much different with each instruments mpc/reed setup. My experiance is that I use a softer feeling reed for my bass and a much stronger reed for my sopranos, discounting for the fact that my soprano Kasper #14 is less open that my Selmer/Grabner C* bass mpc. A more relevant comparison might be made from a tenor sax mouthpiece comparison chart--just a thought.......

BTW--have your tried the Legere bass clarinet reeds? The #3.0 works well for my setup.

Also, could you explain to me the "more than enough free time (and money) on my hands" theory?? I don't get it--but I would like to.
