I used to shave down LaVoz bass reeds on the same principle - now I've actually
got some VanDoren reeds which work on my VanDoren mouthpiece.
Roger Shilcock
Incidentally, re reeds in general and the preceding discussion, it probably
seems trivial *but* it does help if you put the reed in the right place on the
mouthpiece. The optimum position differs from reed to reed - some amateur
players certainly tend to forget this. (I don't suppose all you old pros out
there ever do ...).
