I write as a user of close-tipped mouthpieces and one who has played (uncomfortably) on a B45 for only about 5 minutes. Without knowing how many clarinetists you're actually on speaking terms with, I'm not sure how you can make a sweeping generalization like this about the universe of players, even limiting it to players using French-style reeds on Boehm clarinets. At best it's true of most of the players you know. It's true of many of the players I know, too, and probably most of the players David talks to, but I play almost exclusively "classical" chamber and orchestral music and most of the clarinet players I know play similar work within a fairly small geographical area and also have training backgrounds very similar to mine.

We all have our preferences. Mattis2's dilemma is that the reed he'd like to use doesn't by his report work well on the equipment he has been using for a long time and wants to continue using. That's a dilemma he may not be able to resolve (probably not), but it sounds as though given the choice, he'll keep the equipment he's been using in his view successfully, including his cane reeds.

Yes, in general, but does that make it more likely or less that the Légère Mattis2 wants to use will play in tune?
