Re: Leuthner Vienna Cut Clarinet Reeds

I can use 2.5 and 3 with French Cut, but only 2.5 with the Wiener Schnitts. The 3s were a little too hard for me, and working them down much seemed to take away some of the resonance that's one of the nice aspects of these reeds. A lot depends on your mouthpiece and facing, though.

Another thing you might try is Pilgerstorfer Exquisits, which Clark Fobes sells. The 1.5s (not a typo) are a little hard for me, but they bear working down well, and have a very stable and even, and a bit covered, sound. The tips are a bit thicker than the two Leutner varieties above, which is nice for avoiding too bright a sound in the altissimo.
