I switched to the concept all playing purposes.

.i use euro singature 3.5 and the 3.5plus size as well..I like a resistant mouthpiece..so for me making it less resistant will not be good. Unlike the BDfive it is not flattish and in many ways freeblowing. Do not find the sound broad but rather more subject to throat voicing because of how easy it works...I use cane as well but have stopped on the cane side of thing for now after battling my way through 2 boxes of v21 reeds that won t work here in the climate i am in. Right now the eastern seaboard so to speak in in the middle of a heat wave and frankly am tired of tweaking reeds etc. I used the concept today on the Martinu sonatina and it has a big sound with great upper notes.

The Concept is much closer to a M30 in my feeling..oh hate to dredge that one up but to me that is a fine offering from Vandoren..the B40 is excellent but have not have much luck replacing the one I used for 10 years in the mid 90s...the Focus was much more smaller in tone shape..I would hasten to add one thing..the Concept needs to be practiced on to get used to..I mean seriously sit down and play on it for a time.to me it is like a very good Viotto facing..it has enormous control etc. The focus was just too closed for me and somewhat lacking in bite.I use CSG clarinets which are small bore so I think the match with a small bore concept produces a great vibrant tone. It is also nice to pull out after playing so low on vandorens!


I find the v12 reeds work much better on the concept than the v21 reeds.
