I am on the verge myself, but I could not make them work well enough acoustically on French mouthpieces. The story gets much more interesting on German mouthpieces.


The German mouthpiece (and I mean an actual German mouthpiece made for an Oehler clarinet) has a very long facing compared to the French mouthpiece: 23mm compared to a French mouthpiece about 17 or 18mm (and I am speaking averages of course.....but you get the idea).


The German mouthpiece also features a very close facing: .85mm compared with 1.05mm (for a close French facing).


Now in "our" world, you would assume that you need a harder reed to make that work. HOWEVER, the standard reed strength to use for this mouthpiece is 2 1/2 (and it IS comparable to our reed strengths).



There is a different approach to producing sound in the traditional German classical approach and this makes the acoustic model also different. The beauty of the German model is that the difference in sound and response between cane and the Legere is much smaller (still cane wins in a side by side, but it is much much closer).


This does however require the German cut Legere reed with a German mouthpiece and the European cut is not a German cut reed.
