Eefer reed questions

Author: Jaysne

Seems a lot of people feel that playing a Bb reed on an Eb clarinet is better than using the Eb reeds you can buy specifically for the Eefer horn.

1. Can someone tell me why this is? You'd think a reed made specifically for that horn would work best.

2. People who use Bb reeds often like to chop the bottom end off so as to fit more easily onto the mouthpiece table.

a. Is this really necessary? It seems to me that even with the bottom end of the reed sticking out, it doesn't get in the way of anything.

b. What's the best way to chop off the end of said reed if you want to go this route?

Thanks for your help.
