 Re: Legere reeds: Nice. But flat!

Fact often overlooked: it's the PLAYER that plays in tune, not the reed, mouthp[iece, barrel or clarinet. One uses equipement that plays easiest or most efficiently, but ultimately, it is the clarinetist who controls intonation. It is too easy to find fault with other factors and ignore the base problem, a galvanized ear. I use synthetic reeds on all my instruments and have not had a problem playing in tune. Nor has anyone complained about my sound--in fact, I've usually been complimented.

If you have a problem playing flat, shorten your instrument. If you are sharp, lengthen it. Don't blame the reed.
