Re: Anyone familiar with both Aria and Pilgerstorfer Dolce?

I agree, the Arias, Pilgerstorfers and Morres are all fine reeds. I judge by consistency, slope and cane quality. The slope must match the mouthpiece facing and the Pilgerstorfer slope fits my mouthpiece perfectly. The other two can be tweaked to fit. The Morre has a thicker tip and the Aria is a 'straighter' slope.
I think it is important that all clarinetists to be able to tweak reeds. It is either tweak to get them right, or spend big bucks to find the best reeds.
But another way is to pick a great reed brand for the above qualities, and find a mouthpiece that works well with them.
