Re: Are there any fine clarinet players who don't tweak their reeds?

There are plenty of excellent performers/teachers who don't adjust their reeds.

It's worth noting that often people who adjust their reeds significantly don't sound very good. This can be due to the learning curve of reed adjustment, but frequently seems to be from the perspective of magically fixing an issue that would be solved by concentrated practice.

As mentioned in a previous post on this thread, imperfections in the mouthpiece can make finding great reeds next to impossible. An imbalance in the facing curve creates different resistance levels for each side of the reed, making a well balanced reed unlikely to work well. So it's not a huge surprise that many players who use Pyne mouthpieces do work on their reeds. One side rail being a different width/shape than the other, or an imbalanced tip rail, will cause similar issues.
