Re: Low resistance mouthpiece

I would say that is not accurate. Global pitch is fine. I was using Legere reeds which do have their issue with a lower pitch output, however, comparing the German vs Boehm mouthpieces on a Boehm clarinet did NOT yield a pitch disparity.

It may be worth noting that what I referred to above is that the overall length of the German mouthpiece beak......is longer. So even though the volume of the bore/tone chamber is smaller, the added length makes the altissimo notes just slightly lower. It is a very small adjustment and in fact this helps where many of us have a "sharp" problem with these notes. I found that once adapted, the intonation was incredibly constant throughout the horn (and again, that's on a Boehm clarinet).
