Re: Nick Kuckmeier Playing His Own Mouthpieces

Paul, just to clarify for me, what was the contradiction between the video and the tip opening measurements of the Nick mouthpeices at Thomann? Perhaps I missed out something in the video, but only the Nommos Alpha and the KV622 Mozart (the Viennese version, also another "special edition" with a French B2 facing exists) have a very close Viennese facing (both probably around 0.80mm, with the Nommos just a tad more open than the Mozart).

All the German and French ones are from 1.15mm and up, including the Nommos B2 and M French versions (don't know for sure about the German versions of the latter, but probably they are the same as the French ones - as are the versions for wooden reeds).

In my experience, the long and closed Viennese facings requires a lot harder reeds compared to both German and French facings. Also the strength numbers on Viennese cut reeds are not compatible with German or French cut reeds. A #3.0 Viennese reed would typically be the equivalent of about a #4.0 German or a #5.0 or more French cut reed (with variations between different reed brands).
