I want to get myself one of the Vandoren m-pieces for a BC and don't know what tip opening would be a good guess for me.
B30 - MS 1.70mm/0.067"
B44 - M 1.84mm/0.072"
B40 - ML 1.93mm/0.076"
I have no opportunity to try before I buy. I'm an amature home musician and I was always happy with Vandoren pieces for any kind of woodwinds.
Isn't B30 too closed for a bass clarinet to play in the second register with strong sound? Won't is close unless using #5 reeds?
Is B40 on the other hand too open for an amature musician without strong lip muscle? I generally avoid open mouthpieces because I can't play them even with softer reeds.
On a Bb clarinet I use Vandoren 5RV-Lyre - ML 1.09mm/0.043" with Vandoren 2.5 traditional reeds and it works for me.
