Thank you so much for your answer!


Very interesting that with the D2 the Legere reeds don't seem to 'get soft.' I had a period of several months long where I played exclusively on the Legere Quebec cut reeds (with French mouthpieces and clarinets). During this time the reeds had two issues with getting softer. The first is that within about ten minutes they seemed to drop about a half strength. The other issue was that over the course of a few weeks the core strength seemed to soften just a little, but once this long term strength was reached, they stabilized. I wanted to contribute those reactions to the fact that I use a good bit of "control" with my embouchure. It is a more typical "French/American" approach. I am now to understand that the usual approach with the German mouthpiece/reed is much more subtle. Therefore it is striking that you report a similar issue, and more striking that you do not have this happen on the D2!

I don't want the appearance of any endorsement one way or the other, but it should be noted for those reading who are not familiar with Nick Kuckmeier mouthpieces or the German Legere reeds, the Legere Co. developed that particular cut in conjunction with Nick Kuckmeier.



Thanks again!
