 Re: Nick Kuckmeier Playing His Own Mouthpieces

What I found interesting was the basic review of HOW to play German and Viennese mouthpieces. Nick mentions at one point that the longer facing of the German mouthpiece requires placing your embouchure...........closer to the tip! He even says something about bending the reed, but does say that you use a softer reed (ie 2 1/2 strength).



Is there anyone out there from Germany or really familiar with the German approach to clarinet who can verify playing CLOSER to the tip with a long facing?



This sounds a bit counter intuitive to me since the best advice that I've gotten on French mouthpieces is to play as close to where reed and mouthpiece meet (at least that works for me). So what would happen in this scenario is that you play closer to the tip of a short lay mouthpiece because that's where the separation occurs opposed to playing further down for a long lay mouthpiece.


To add to my confusion, I had abandoned the Oehler system after about twelve years of exclusive playing due to unsatisfactory results. I naturally took a "close to tip" stance because I just gravitate that way naturally (and normally use a short facing French mouthpiece on Boehm). Of course I was also playing on reeds that were far too hard (Vandoren White Master 4 and 5).



Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
