 Re: Mouthpiece and legere reeds

Well ... I thought that the Legere European Signature B-flat clarinet cut is, in fact, a soprano sax reed ...? It's a lot wider and looks odd on my French MPs ...

I FINALLY ordered just one 2.75 strength European Signature B-flat reed (says so on the box) and it is a game changer for me! A tiny bit too soft, but amazing! I am afraid to go to a #3.0 because it may be too stiff ... need a 2 7/8 strength ... maybe just look for a slightly more resistive MP ...

I went thru my big box of MPs and found that a good one was a VD 5RV-lyre/88/non 13 series profile. Barrel is a Muncy Diamond 65 mm and clarinet is R13/greenline. With my best voicing and pucker or drawstring embouchure, I can play the entire range of the clarinet with consistent timbre and blowing resistance. With a similarly soft cane reed, it has dips and peaks in the sound and response.

IMHO, you can play softer Legere reeds than cane, and get even better results, don't have to have the embouchure pressure and work so hard! Relax and enjoy!

I concur with most of the others ... this reed was not good with more open MPs like the M30. I gets mushy, diffused and very flat above high D. With this 2.75 strength, it also plays a few cents flatter overall than my cane reeds.

So, I might just borrow a bunch of 5RV-lyres and pick one out that works better with this reed ... I wish they had 1/8 strengths!
