Mouthpieces and reeds by the numbers

Author: rtaylor

Something I always consider when looking at a new reed brand and which strength(s) to order is what other people say work on what mouthpiece.

For example people say they play on vandoren V12 size X on mouthpiece Y with great results.

I look up the measurements if available on that mouthpiece to see what the opening and lay length is to get a benchmark for how a particular reed would work for my mouthpiece

I play a mouthpiece with a .116 opening and lay length of 24. (It's a Wurlitzer 3WZ* german mouthpiece made for french cut reeds played on a Leitner & Krause V420 clarinet in case your curious)

I currently like Brad Behn's Aria reeds size 3 1/2 for this setup. In the winter time I go up a 1/2 size harder in the chilly upper mid-west.

In the interest of creating a thread that could be sort of a database of mouthpieces and reeds and sizes that work well, let's hear from others and their experiences.

Cheers,
Robert
