Re: Legere European cut is too flat

I admit I made a mistake by saying most people play closed mouthpieces. I should have said that from what I observe, it seems that more and more people playing French Boehm clarinets are starting to play more closed tip mouthpieces. This is why the B45 is so unpopular, and the Vandoren M13, M15 and M30 are so popular nowadays. This is only what I observe.

The shorter the facing, the more pressure/force from your embouchure you must exert. So that is why many people use softer reeds on these mouthpieces. But having too soft reeds and too soft of a setup usually means playing flat.

Just what I've found when experimenting with all these mouthpieces. I know people are going to disagree with me, but just wanted to share my 2 cents.
