Re: Reed preference Eb Clarinet

Thanks to recommendations I got on BBoards a couple of years ago, I use the same reed on my Eb as on my Bb, except it's a bit stiffer. I use Gonzales FOF's 2 3/4 strength on my Bb and use Gonzales FOF 3's on my Eb. I just cut about 1/4" off the butt end to play it on my Eb. HOWEVER, after reading what Ebclarinet1 wrote above, I'm thinking of trying a 2 1/2 on my Eb and seeing how the altissimo notes sound. I seem to have better luck keeping the altissimo notes in tune with a bit stiffer reed, but am curious what will happen with a slightly less stiff reed. I really like the idea of sticking with the same brand and model on both clarinets.
