My question runs risk of violating certain tenants of our craft, including shopping for a mouthpiece with a reed (when the converse should be true), or that consensus can be found in certain clarinet questions whose answers vary with each respondent.
Q: Is there [somewhat of] a consensus on the types of attributes that make a mouthpiece more friendly to Legeres, including tip opening, facing length, rail width/curvature, etc.?
====
We've heard here that [some people think that] some mouthpieces are more (or less) Legere friendly than others.
We've heard the sagely advice here that other people's findings on such compatibilities, even if showing aspects of consensus, far and away take a back seat to the importance of the individual player putting mouthpieces and Legeres into their own setup to see what works for them.
We've had mouthpiece makers design variations touting them as Legere friendly.
Are there at least some rules of thumb regarding the basic type of mouthpiece that most players tend to find more or less Legere friendly?
And of course, this is not to say that all the Legere brands play the same.
Thoughts?
