Re: Woodwind Co. mpc

Somewhere in the archives is a story about Benny Goodman liking the G7*. The poster found one of Benny Goodman's clarinets (in 'A') in a museum; it had a Woodwind Co. G7* with the 'steel ebonite' logo. He got to play the clarinet, said it sounded great, with Benny's trademark tone, but any reed harder than #2 didn't play well. Makes me curious what strength reed Benny used! I've got an 'Educator' Woodwind Co. on my bass clarinet, plays great, and does seem to like softer reeds.

Try 'Benny Goodman Mouthpiece' in Search. Poster's name was DanceDelight, or something like that.
