Thank you for your advice.
My setup, B45 Lyre (1,27 mm) with a Vandoren 2.5 and my 5JB (1,47 mm) with a Vandoren 1,5 works fine to me. They are easy to play on, they are giving the sound I want and they are in tune (442).
The problem starts with putting on a Legere European Cut 2.5. The sound is, to me at least, the same as with the cane reed, but the clarinet gets about 15 to 20 % flat, especially in the lower registry. By increasing the tension around the mouthpiece it gets sharper, but that's not the way I want to play. My band members, especially my vibraphone and trombone player say it's OK, But I can hear that it's flat compared to the vibraphone (442).
I did start playing again in 2000 after a 30 years break with a new saxophone (Selmer Mark VI tenor and a Buffet RC clarinet) and thought that now somebody has done something with the mouthpiece/reed nightmare. And somebody has. I have tried several brands, including Fibracell that did not work. The Legere Signature did not work either (they were also flat), but the European cut did.
Bottom line: I keep plying with the cane reed at gigs, and use the Legere for practice. And I'm not going to melt my B45 as somebody here has suggested.
