Re: Selecting new mouthpiece(s)

Reserve MPs are great IMHO and play wonderfully in tune with standard Buffet barrel and synthetic reeds, like the Legere, which have a tendency to play sightly flat, especially in the upper register.

Not tried the X10E ... but excellent luck lately using X0 and #3.25 Legere European Signature clarinet reeds. The plain M13 works well too, much better than the M13-lyre.

The Legere reeds don't like being bitten and distorted on the MP and also seem to favor a closer tip opening like the Reserve X0, the Vandoren M13 and the Fobes Debut and SF CF+. Would be interesting to try the the Mclune FMK models with the Legere ...

(For now, these new reed plays better than anything I've ever used ...)
