I need to respond to a few different issues:

Tucker:

I have tried the Legere Studio Cut and find them quite wonderful, just about as amazing as the results that I have gotten out of the Signature Tenor Sax reeds. I don't know why Legere lets go of some of its better product. It could be that they are concentrating on the different material that constitutes their Signature line and can no longer offer the standard material. Its too bad though.

Erez Katz:

I was able to have David McClune asses my bass clarinet mouthpiece. It is his opinion that it is a Zinner blank manly based on the fact that it is a very small tip opening and shorter lay - tip opening = 1.65mm and facing length of 24mm

Kilo:

I could not agree more! There's always the looming specter of "new mouthpieces" that would require another reed strength evaluation, travel to dramatically different elevations (and associated air pressure change requiring different reed strength), and the chance that we just change up how we do what we do.

Plastic reeds are expensive, but they last a long time and remain quite consistent.
