Who does E-flat for a living?

Curious!

Who are the Eefer People here? What is your preferred instrument, mouthpiece, reeds and any other accessories that you find helpful?

Me? I do some Symphony, a lot of chamber, a lot of musical pit orchestra, and Wind Ensembles. I love the Buffet R13, Clark Fobes E-flat mouthpiece, the newer Backun barrel (with the B-flat reed cutout), and Vandoren Rue 56 3.5 reeds (just starting a migration towards the Rue 56 3.5+). I did use the Fobes extension, as many do, but I've since stopped, as I found no appreciable difference in the intonation +/or sound of the bottom, which plays wonderfully fine without it, but I did have a bothersome "node" warble in the middle D with it on! Also - just switched from Rovner Dark ligature to the Vandoren Optimum.

As such, I'm a happy Eeffer-guy!
