I recently got a reed geek and I am very happy with it. I got a Bari synthetic reed, classed S, soft or 2.0 I got it to allow younglings to try a clarinet easily. Plastic reeds disinfect very well. The reed was too stiff for me, and I use 3.5 or 4. Thanks to you, I have taken my reed geek to this reed to make it easier for younglings to use. Thanks.
thx mauro for this very helpfull tutorial - i will get my G4 in the next days. what would be great: to show, how the reed sounds before, then after adjustments have been done :-)
Sure John!..I understand completely. Unfortunately, it is going to be very hard to produce a synthetic reed that will play equally well on various mouthpiece designs and varied tip openings . ReedGeek tools and specifically the new "Bullet tool" are the only tools on the market that can successfully undertake this endeavor with repeatable results.
@@johnfilardi The only tool that will work on the VENN is the ReedGeek "Bullet". We adjusted several at the last NAMM show and the Bullet was the tool fine enough to excel without fraying!
Hi Lou!...The ReedGeek tools works very well on Fibercell reeds as well as Harry H. Fiberreeds....I will have more videos coming on-line this summer!...Mauro
Has anyone successfully adjusted a Legere aside from this guy? I... oh crap, I was about to say I've wrecked two, but I just saw my comment from 5 months ago. Make that THREE! JFC. That's $90 my dumb ass has lost trying to do this shit. Cane, yeah, it's great. Legere, nope. I want to see a Legere adjusted and then played.
