Hi S. I've tried lots of Pilgerstorfers. They can be very good or not so, but that depends heavily on the rest of your setup. They are maybe more consistent than Vandorens, but the big thing is that they sound different, and if you like a German/Austrian sound, they are a good bet, but it takes awhile to find the type that works for you. I now play an Austrian Boehm system mouthpiece, and the Exquisits, which Clark Fobes sells, work very well for me. I use a 1.5, but you might be able to use a 2. Previously, the Morrés worked well. With both, I can get a more German/Austrian sound than with others, although the Leuthner Wiener Schnitts come close. But basically, you have to have some disposable income to spend on messing with reeds until you hit on what works with your setup, and you probably need to be a little fanatical about getting that particular sound. I've played Dolce 4s in concerts and they worked, but tended to be a little brighter than I like. Rondos are a bit more stable, but not as responsive.
