I have a gradual increase, nothing to do with following radius except the starting point of it. The high e goes nearest the fretboard and the bottom furthest away. Basically the more mass the string has the larger the elliptical vibration space required so this gives it enough room. It works great and is really comfortable. All my guitars have it

im not sure what all the hoopla is about, really. all in all, some folks dig the bridge, some don't, some have a need for it, some don't
personally i don't, but.... whatever. tho, i do have a jazzy/jag bridge on a blacktop jazzmaster, i think those originally came with a modified mustang bridge, anywho, i actually like the original design bridges, mainly cuz you can manipulate them, i like to tinker, so. blah

Just joking about the racist part. If you're reading this I'd say stick around and don't take it personally. We get a lot of people breezing in with misinformation and snake oil and we hate noobs and I'm not very well liked here anyway on account of my posting habits

Hey, Larry, I saved one for you.

Guys obviously never hung out with any clarinet players. What a bunch of ass-whipes those guys are.

Maybe he was actually thinking about flesh clarinet? With posts like his, he might as well just go toss instead.

Hey guys, what strength reed is best for an E♭ clarinet? I usually go with #2 for my B♭, but not sure what to go with on this one, it is new to me.

Thanks in advance.

Come on guys that was a little bit harsh, I did use the search feature first, but didn't find the answer I wanted. You see I can nail the Benny Goodman sound spot on, I am trying for the Artie Shaw tone with his one LOL!
