Re: German-cut Bb reeds on E-flat mouthpiece

Funny you ask.... I use V12 3.5 on my eefer (an old Brad Behn mouthpiece he 'faced for me in 1995) and 3.75 on B flat.
I've just bought a box of Vandoren Blackmaster 3.5 (a shop nearby stocked up on them years ago when a fad for playing German mouthpieces swept NZ, then never sold most of them so they are at an old price) and these were way too hard. I exchanged 7 of them for 3s... these are still too hard....
The 2 that I played is way too soft (I bought 2's to use on my classical clarinet- it requires a very soft reed). I haven't tried 2.5
I haven't tried them on E flat yet, as I'm very happy with the V12 3.5s, and I have a couple of boxes of those waiting around (bought off a friend who had kept them for years and never used them).
hope this was helpful
