RE: "Playable Reeds"

To be quite honest Daniel, the Viotto German N1 mouthpiece that I play on my Wurlitzer (Oehler system) clarinets accepts only 1 reed per every *2* boxes! And this no matter what reed brand/strength - although the White Master 2 1/2 or 3's are the only reeds that come close to working. My colleague Larry Combs plays the same set up and finds exactly the same thing. We have just the opposite problem as you do with similar mouthpieces.

As far as the French Viotto mouthpieces and their facings go, I am unable to get any reeds to work well at all with my French Buffet R13's, including the V12 cut. Perhaps that is because Viotto's facing/interior style is so dissimilar to my own personal handmade French style mouthpieces that I make and play regularly.

PS. I do not have time to make my own reeds. V12 3.5's are what I use - (one or perhaps two per box of course!).
