Re: Legere Signature reed

Just received, on approval, a Walter Grabner K11* model Bb clarinet mouthpiece and it is simply AMAZING. My Legere Signiture reeds, previously unplayable on my Kaspar 14, literally jumped to "life" on the Grabner. With no "blowback" there is ample dynamic flexability in all registers with a crisp staccato when desired. I can now double tongue from low E up to G6 with relative ease and tone quality is excellent. What is even more astounding, I can now play on previously unplayable Forestone reeds, which I much prefer to the Legere's. As my three week trial period goes on, I will report more findings on this wonderful K11* Grabner mouthpiece--as of now, it seems like a real winner and seems to play better than my old standby, Chicago Kaspar or it's "twin" cousin, my custom Ithica Charles Bay.

FWIW, Walter makes his K11* from a stock Zinner blank.
