French vs German cut reeds

Author: Raff P

Hello forum,

It's to my understanding that some clarinetists like to use German cut reeds on their "French" mouthpiece. Namely, I hear that people like to use VD White Masters.

My questions are:

What is the difference in the design between French cut and German Cut reeds?

Do White Masters need adjusting to play on a French design? or do they play well out of the box?

Lastly, has anybody ever tried using German cut synthetic reeds in place of the French style cut (I know that Forestone and Legere make both)?

Many thanks in advance.
