Re: Have you tried this method of reed adjustment?

I believe in rotating through all the reeds that "work." So you have your order and realize (outside of concerts and important rehearsals) that you will have a "less than ideal" time with the four or so out of a box of ten (and let's say the first two are really good). This way you keep YOURSELF more flexible regarding what you get since you're not always gong to have a good reed day for a critical gig.

As for position of reed, there is ONLY ONE. You position the reed symmetrically (dead center to the table and the left and right rails). AND you find a spot up and down where you cover the top rail but but don't protrude too far (this is variable to the strength of the reed but there are reasonable limits).

I don't even know what "stronger mouth" is supposed to mean other than biting. PLEASE watch this video that should be entitled "How to get a great sound on the clarinet."
