I've been going back-and-forth with the various Legere reeds for some time finally settling on the European cut. I've tried various strengths with various mouthpieces searching for a combination that would play with ease and sound good throughout the chalumeau, clarion and altissimo range. Recently I also experimented with the new Venn for Bb clarinet and was almost seduced by it's ease of play and dark tone. But the Venn had trouble not going flat in the altissimo range, so I've gone back to the Legere. I've also gone through a number of mouthpieces to get the right match. Started with an M30 for awhile, then a C85-120, then to a 5RV and finally to a 5RV lyre which seems a great match for the Euro cut in a 3.0 strength reed. Easy, easy play and great sound!
