Re: Synthetic reeds

I think the "convention" (for what it is worth) is to start with 1/4 strength less than an equivalent Vandoren (if you use a #3 Vandoren = 2 3/4 Legere). That is to start. The cut on French that I like the best is the Standard (use to be Quebec, but they don't make that anymore).

I have to toss this out there because it is my current "work in progress," that the Vandoren German cut reeds get a VERY good result on German mouthpieces. Still to my ears and tastes not as good a cane but a MUCH closer difference than on French system (Boehm) mouthpieces.
