 Re: Mouthpiece and legere reeds

Yador,



Are you speaking of the Signature European Cut ? It seems like Giuffredi and Morales are using mouthpieces other than the PlayEasy brand. They are freely endorsing Legere backed up by their actual playing success with the Signatures. Morales also speaks of using the Signature Soprano Sax reeds (a quarter strength softer and perhaps more aggressive sounding?). Have you tried those?


I was just in a repair shop where the tech was using the Signature soprano sax reeds on Bb clarinet as well. Those may present differently on mouthpieces than the Signature European Cut Bb clarinet reeds and require their own trial to determine how well they work.


As I have said, I went the other direction in size of reed. I use the demur German sized reeds that barely cover the window of the mouthpiece. Oddly they perform magnificently when placed carefully on the mouthpiece. I can use the Vandoren M13, or the Vandoren CL4 interchangeably with a 2.75 strength German cut Legere. The mouthpiece for this strength and cut Legere that I have relied on mostly of late is the ESM (Ernst Schreiber Michelstadt) MCK-1 (1.03mm opening and a 19mm long facing).


Going down a strength, I am now using Walter Grabner's (a Zinner based mouthpiece) "Chicago Facing" (advertised at 1.00mm opening and a 14.00mm length lay) with a 2.25 strength Legere German cut reed.


There seems to be a bit of a tendency for me to squeak every now and then, so my interest in the larger reeds (ones that will fully cover the mouthpiece facing) is an attempt to squelch this tendency. BUT I must emphasize that the sound, response and intonation are at parity with cane.


Oh, I forgot to add that all the mouthpieces I listed above, I had used successfully with Vandoren #4 Rue Lepic and #4 V21s. Just to be clear that these mouthpieces are not exclusively good for plastic reeds.
