Eric,

Thanks again for more useful info. I did not know Pete played on 2.5. You have no idea how relieved I am to learn that. On the other hand he did not play particularly high (that I've heard). But man- what a sound!

And I know reed strength is only part of the equation- mouthpiece being the 2nd largest factor. I think my Vandoren 2RV actually wants a higher strength reed(?) and I'm using it with softer, so maybe I'm double dipping. Early on I had a clear Ridenour RC10 (not sure of model #) and an old 2RV that came with a used clarinet beat it out. Later I bought a new 2RV- that after 3 yr of daily play looks tired but plays good. I've tried a few other random mouthpieces throuh the years but nothing beat the 2RV. However, my new ATG reed finishing system has been such a watershed change (improvement!) for me- all my reeds are well balanced now!- that I'm revisiting mouthpieces a bit. Any day in the mail I expect a new Ridenour Encore student model with rave reviews... we'll see- I have no idea how facing and tip compare to 2RV, but it'll be a data point no matter what. Also on its way is an old Selmer C* which, from what I read, is similar tip/facing to my 2RV. Again it'll be another data point. Ah, always looking for that magic change that will cure all my troubles. :-)
