emilliano,
I suspect your question is directed to the reed strength.
There are a number of variables you need to take into consideration. The clarinet, mouth piece, ligiture etc. However generally speaking you would find most play on a 5JB mouth piece or something similar and soft reeds, between 1 and 1.5, again it all depends on the reed brand as some reed brands are stiffer then others.
Hope this helps.

The Bulgarian and Macedonian guys I know play Vandoren 5JB mouthpieces #2 Rico either Plasticover or regular. I think the Greek clarinetist I've encountered are the ones who go between 1-1.5's
It all depends on the guy and the ethnicity.
If I recall correctly, Ivo Papazov plays Rico 2's on a JB with his Selmer Series 10 FB, and I really can't remember what lig he's using. For some reason, I think it's a Bonade inverted, but that may be incorrect...
