In the spirit of the opening post, I’d concur with SuperDan. The Legere European cut for Bb clarinet is pretty amazing. I’ve been using Legere for seven years and don’t even THINK about humidity any more (and that was SUCH a big deal).
To be sure, Legere’s have there issues as well. They are VERY thin (up and down), and slippery. This could preclude use of certain ligatures (the pre formed dip in the Vandoren M/O is just too small to work at all). And there is only a few hairs worth of adjustment room up and down on the mouthpiece (to make stronger or weaker) before you lose most of that particular strength reed’s ability to function properly (separate from strength).
HOWEVER
Going from hour to hour, day to day knowing pretty much exactly how you are going to sound is priceless. And speaking of price, I rotate through as little as four reeds (switching day to day) over the course of a year without needing to buy more reeds. That’s a LOT less than a $30 box of ten about every three weeks. Correct my math if I’m wrong!
