Re: Mouthpiece for V12 5 reeds?

samoma1,

i agree with vintschevski.

maybe this will be of help to you.

i used a 5 strength Vandoren V12 reed on a Gennusa GE mouthpiece.

but this was a long time ago.

if you have your heart set on playing a certain type of reed strength, my suggestion is that you contact a mouthpiece maker and send them several of the reeds you like to play and ask that they make a mouthpiece that will play the reed.

for the boehm clarinet, i use a C Robert Scott mouthpiece that he made for me. Mr Scott's prices are very reasonable. although the opening is 1.0mm, i find that i've exceeded the stiffness of some reed companies (i.e. Olivieri). The last box of 4.5 Peter Leuthner French cut reeds were way too soft.

i personally used to like very stiff reeds, however in the German clarinet, im finding that the opposite approach towards the set up has been more successful.

i believe that there are others who are discovering some truth to this method (on German mouthpieces).

good luck and feel free to contact me off the board if you need further information or direction.

-CK
