Reviving this old thread --- I have a Ridenour Lyrique 576 I bought a few years ago new. I'm not "a clarinetist" but am a competent wind player. I didn't, at the time, like the included "pro" mouthpiece and got a Fobes Debut, which I found easier for me to play on and get a good sound. However -- on that, I am 20 cents flat across the board (yes, shorter barrel.) I ended up with a Legere 2 3/4 which I was told today is a "soft" reed.
I basically gave up trying a couple years ago, but have the opportunity to play in a WW5T this summer and am looking again. I went to a friend's house and we tested combinations, and my flatness is due to the Fobes, apparently. I was up to pitch on whatever my friend had, BUT had great difficulty getting air through the instrument.
I'd like to get something "very middle of the road" that isn't going to restrict the air, doesn't require pro chops (I have good brass chops, but -- ) and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Suggestions?
And thank you.
