How do Legere actually grade their reed strengths, e.g. during or after manufacture.
For some months I have been trying these reeds on my bass clarinet, using Original, Signature and tenor sax varieties on a range of mouthpieces.
I have been a little surprised about a lack of strength consistency. For example I would expect a Signature 2 1/4 to be a tad stronger than a 2, but weaker than a 2 1/2 and so on. Frequently this is not the case, which is disappointing.
Surely with man made, moisture impervious material and modern measuring equipment one would expect more consistency.
