I normally use a Vandoren 5RV Lyre and was introduced to the Clark Fobes mouthpieces at the ClarinetFest at U of Kansas. I got both a 2L and a CF+ 10K from him. The 2L works great with my existing reeds and I use the CF+ (equivalent to the regular 5RV) for reeds with good cane, but a little too hard for the 2L. Both are great and very free-blowing. Good ringing sound and the "ping" of the articulation is great.
My question is this. Can a mouthpiece be too free-blowing?
I haven't played the 2L yet in the orchestra setting (season starts in a couple of weeks), but in the practice room it seems -- for lack of a better term -- loud. I can tame it and play pianissimo, but not quite as softly as with my 5RV Lyre or my Kaspar 11. When I play my 5RV Lyre or Kaspar 11 after playing the 2L, they feel stuffy and I have to play them for a half hour or so before the sound opens up.
Any other disadvantages of a too-free-blowing mouthpiece?
