 Re: Mouthpiece and legere reeds

Dear Seabreeze,


It's my understanding that it is only the San Francisco that is available in all the various above facings (though perhaps the 10K may also...... a third mouthpiece?). I thought that even if Clark would have been reluctant to alter his facings, the C12 would suffice. Fortunately the foreshortening was not a problem and it works great for me.



Dear NBeaty,


I would agree with your overarching premise that any well executed mouthpiece will work with Legere. However, point 3) from the first group above is not correct. If you look at the number of prominent German players who use Legere with great success, long/narrow facings work just fine. My year's long experience with my Wurlitzer M3+ mouthpiece (.90mm opening and 24.80mm long facing) was very successful with the Legere German cut reed. It was in fact the Geraman cut reeds that convinced me of Legere's overall viability with most mouthpieces. I took those same reeds to French mouthpieces and had similar results. The only issue is that the VERY narrow width of the German sized reed will not work with some fairly wide Boehm mouthpiece windows. Oddly one example of a window too wide for German cut Legeres is the Fobes. I have since switched to the European Signatures.


Additionally I'd have to say that wider tip and side rails do the same thing to plastic that they do to cane. The greater surface area on which the reed vibrates causes the sound to have fewer overtones, and usually a less responsive attack. Although I've heard some pretty amazing players get good results from the Vandoren M30 which is a pretty "thuddy" sounding mouthpiece for me.


The modified C12 Fobes mouthpieces of mine have very narrow side and tip rails which give me a very clear and overtone rich end result (with Legere #3.25 European Signature and #2.50 Soprano Sax Signature)
