Re: Legere European Cut for Bass Clarinet

Hurstfarm, thanks for your observations!

I went onto Woodwind/Brasswind website to order one but it appeared they only had pre-orders of 3.75's. I sent them an email for clarification and to find out how to order a different strength. Typical of WWBW they never responded. I'm pretty much done with them.

I've been playing a tenor sax studio cut 2.5 exclusively for a few years now so I contacted Legere directly via email to find out which strength would equate to a tenor sax studio cut 2.5 and they responded within a day and said they would recommend a 2.75 in the new European cut.

That would seem to concur with your observation regarding strength as well since I've found the tenor sax studio cut 2.5 to be comparable to a Signature bass clarinet 2.5.

I've ordered from Muncie Music, so waiting for the delivery now.

Thanks again for the input!
