Legere, ATG & Bass Clarinet

Hi All,

Some of you may have read my thread on Water Logged Bass Clarinet reeds. I am on the way to solving my problem through a change in reeds. Among the reeds that I'm including in the trials are Legere reeds. When trying a #3, I found it a tad stiff and will see how a 2.75 works next.

I have used Tom Ridenour's ATG system for over a decade and feel very strongly about its value. My street sense tells me that I should be able to make some minor adjustments on the Legeres with the ATG? I've talked to a couple clarinet pals who use these reeds and they do a little tweaking (how, I'm not sure).

Anyone with experience using the ATG with synthetic reeds? Did you follow Tom's instructions for adjustment?

Thanks in advance,

HRL

PS I know that Legere will not accept a reed for exchange that has been altered so I need to be cautious here before diving in.
