Selmer reeds for Soprano Sax on Clarinet

I tried the Selmer reeds. Tested several Clarinet reeds before, and never found better than my Légère European. Since I play sax reeds on Alto Clarinet and since the European Cut is based on a Soprano Sax reed, I tested the Selmer Sop Sax reeds (also thinking Selmer tested reeeds on their instruments and I play Selmer Mpc. and Clarinet... OK not a Sax, but, well...).

It works, it's the of sound I was looking for, it's very comfortable, 5 on 6 reeds are OK to play out of the box (2 boxes for soprano and 1 box for alto tested, 5 are good). I was on a 2.5 with Légère but switched on a 2 with Selmer wich is harder.
`
It's the very first time I'm happy with a natural reed, in five years or so of playing. I'm very, very surprised by these reeds.
