Leuthner Vienna Cut Clarinet Reeds

By a quirk of fate and some boredom I suppose, I ordered some the Peter Leuthner's Vienna Cut reeds from Brad Behn. ( He provids excellent customer service by the way on my orders, fast shipping etc. Great Company).

I am currently using a PlayNick Solist M mouthpiece on my Leitner & Kraus Reform Boehm clarinets. The Solist M is setup for the obligatory Vandoren V12.

So the Leuthners arrived in strenghs 2 1/2 & 3. For the Solist M the lighter 2 1/2 work very well.

1. Great sound, solid core and a nice "ping" to the tone.

2. Articulation - coudln't be better. You can run the through the Stark Studies without a hiccup

3. Longevity - too soon to tell but if they last as well as the French Leuthners then they really are something special

4. Very consistent from reed to reed. - I got 7 very playable reeds from a box of 10.

Cheers,
Robert
