Re: Voicing on German system clarinet

Yes, there certainly are more dimensional differences. But once you get the reed vibrating (and the resulting air column), the differences are more acoustical. I found that (as Bas asserted) the German mouthpiece can be quite effectively used upon a French clarinet, but there are some other compensations involved. The overall length of the German mouthpiece is slightly longer and consequently one has to compensate for slightly flatter altissimo notes (the main reason I switched back).

Still though using the German mouthpiece ( at least for a set amount of time) is by far the easiest way I know to train oneself to play with a very relaxed set up and still achieve great sound, pitch and dynamics.
