If some observations here serve me correct...lets back up a bit..i realize some people here make a living making mouthpiece..but the changes in the way the cane grows and is harvested is quite different with the way the industry cuts the cane!
Kuckmeier is now producing mouthpieces for German clarinet that use French cane...this is a recent development because we all know a harder reed requires a longer curing process!
many german players are switching to Bohm clarinet style mouthpieces I have not tried any of these new Bohm style german mouthpiece.
My student plays on a German system clarinet and I have played on the German system..in other words some of the above info has to be seriously updated to be relevant. Much of the other problem is that reeds made now are much softer and mushier than before...this in turn means less resistance for the facing so makers are now adapting to this new polemic. I want to bite my tongue but basically we need a proper resistance no matter the tip..so now
what is going on in Germany is they are designing mouthpiece for the French reed and naturally opening the tip up!

are adapting to this reality. Vandoren and other makers are using much more open models to adapt the soft spongy reed we now use.
The BD5 while not my cup of tea is a compromise to achieve this balance...so the BD7 which I tried with a 3 reed is much better and less stuffy...so some of this is an industry change in developing a more dense sound for the clarinet as of old without using the hard hard reeds of old this also allow the reed manufacturers to harvest and make cane that is not cured for the proper time period....global warming may be a big factor on cane these days for sure!
