I found a better link for the Ottensamer interview:

https://bachtrack.com/interview-andreas-ottensamer-clarinet-vienna-berlin-mozart-May-2018

Personally I find what he said about his preference for strong reeds to be an opportune teaching moment. Evidently, like Ricardo Morales, Stephen Williamson, and some other pros, he likes some resistance to blow against to assist in his own concept of tonal shape and density and chooses reeds accordingly. This is not the first time that someone from a Viennese background has indicated that they tend to use rather stiff reeds. I can recall American players who studied with Leopold Wlach saying the same thing about him. Victor Polatschek reportedly asked other players in the US to send their too-hard reeds to him 'cause that's what he liked. None of that destroys the validity of Paul's observation that the German clarinet and mouthpiece can be played easily and well with a soft reed. It merely shows the reality of "different strokes for different folks." Some of the Viennese, at least, do it differently.
