Hello,
I used to play Marigaux 901, but recently I bought a Loree Royal.
As expected, the sound is brighter and I tried different reeds with different staples to make darker sound, but couldn't make it.
I played with European style reed (72mm, Guercio staples) on 901 and tried the same style reed on Loree.
Any suggestions for reed style and staples to get dark and mellow sound ?
(wide or narrow staple? reed length? etc..)
Thanks!

The best way? Well, I'd have to say...sell it and buy another Marigaux. Or a Moennig Albrecht Mayer model. Or maybe a Dupin Imperial. Or even a Loree DM bore...
What made you switch in the first place?

How about just using the "American style reed" with as wide a shape as you can manage and still stay up to pitch? Good luck!

[Note: advice for short-scrape reeds!!]
Take some cane from just above the bark / below the heart, but leave the spine and the sides alone. You can take quite a lot of cane from here without affecting the response of the reed, and it does enrich the sound (Nicholas Daniel's advice from Linda Walsh's reed-making DVD). I am currently playing mainly short-scrape reeds on a Loree, and I use this advice myself.
Also, dust the sides, and corners of the tip with an incredibly sharp knife and a flat plaque. Think "remove only dust - no cane!"
That said, the Loree is a different instrument to the Marigaux. Decide to love your new sound, and don't hanker for your old one!

Hi,
Well I went from a Loree to a Marigaux 901 a few back and I have no regrets!
Now, my teacher plays a Loree Royale ...check the reeds of
http://www.bethanyslater.com
My teacher uses her reeds and her blanks as backups. She has lots of pics and you can easily see her reed construction.
I have incorporated a couple of her ideas in my reeds too with good results.
I would watch the tip length and make sure you have a good spine right up to/through the blend.
Loree's are just more reed needy!
