Re: reed choices for Selmer basset horn

I also have a Selmer basset horn, and have experimented with various mouthpiece/reed combinations to broaden the dynamic range. My preferred mouthpiece is a Grabner K14, and I've steered towards relatively soft (2.5 or 3) Steuer White Line French cut reeds. I've also had good results with Behn Arias (3) - and used one for a recent performance of the Mendelssohn concert pieces, where the basset has to balance a clarinet in full cry! Unfortunately the Arias aren't generally available in the UK though, so it's likely to be more an experiment than a longer term solution.
