Tone and Austrian Style? (Clarinet)

Author: MillerMile

Hey,

I want to know what Austrian Style is in relation to German style since there seems to be nothing online about Austrian. There must be a difference since vandorens sells Austrian and German mouthpieces/reeds separately. Most of all I want to know whether the Austrian reeds (roughle 0.85mm/L to VL facing) would make a more ROUND, DARK tone than the German reeds (a little more open/ a little shorter facing).

My ultimate goal is to get a very dark round tone, and would appreciate any MP, Reed, and ligature combos that are recommended. I am more looking into getting German/Austrian mouthpieces and reeds and tying them on with string, but don't know which type is better. I plan on playing on a French system clarinet using this mouthpiece setup.

Thanks for all the help!

Josh
