Re: Thoughts on M30D?

After reading the various comments on the M30D I decided to try the one that I own which was sitting in a row of different Vandoren mouthpieces which I have played at one time or another. I had put it aside because I felt that it was a little too tubby sounding for the reeds that I use (Rico Reserve Classic 3.5plus). I tried several reeds that I'm currently using and had the exact response that I had before. However, I had just put aside two reeds that were a little too bright and thin in tone. When I tried both of them on the M30D they matched it to a tee! I had the warm and clear tone that I can get on the regular M30s that I normally play on. Have any of you had similar experiences? I've never been a proponent of switching mouthpieces depending on the reed being used but I'm thinking about it now. (I heard a story years ago about a well known principal clarinetist who would carry around a case full of mouthpieces which he personally faced and he would switch mouthpieces depending on the reed that he wanted to use.)
