 Legere flatness with some mpc
Author: Nekmib

I use an M30 mpc with 3.5 euro cut. I have noticed that the sound is quite decent and the articulation is good too. However, I've noticed some tuning problems that didn't happen with the cane reeds, it's from C6 where the tuning of the notes goes down a lot, any idea if the normal Signature Series has less problems of this kind? what size would you recommend in relation to the previous size you were using?

I personally wouldn’t bother with the regular signature series. That’s just my opinion. The flatness is typical of all Legere reeds. The M30 also tends to be a little flat in the upper register.

I play on an M30 with Legere reeds and don't notice any difference in intonation between the Signature and the European Signature (3.25-3.5 strengths). I find the Legers a little flat above C6, and use the RH bis key for many fingerings for E6 and above.

I noticed that when I switched from a Buffet pre-R13 (sharp above C6 with cane reeds) to a Ridenour Libertas, that lowered the pitch above C6. Fernie, do I recall correctly that you play a Ridenour clarinet?
