Re: Pomarico with legere european

Ok, so what I hear you saying is that the cg+ is an "asymmetrical" facing. The asymmetrical facing is causing the Legere to get "weaker" faster.

please correct if this is not right

I had found at some point in the past that I was applying too much pressure on the Legeres on slightly more open (for me) mouthpieces and that caused them to bend closer to the tip and become too weak. My solution to that was to stick with the smaller tip opening and shorter facing mouthpiece. I also have continued to emphasize applying the least amount of embouchure pressure I require to control the sound.

Of course it goes without saying that you ideally only use one reed (or set of reeds) for one particular mouthpiece. If you have used a set of reeds on one mouthpiece for a month (for example), then take them to play on another mouthpiece for an indefinite period of time, you are not optimizing the performance of the Legeres.
