I think I like the overtones I get from playing
a rather firm reed. Inasmuch as I know what "overtones"
are, although I will be at my local music store at
8:00 Satruday for a B45Lyre and a box of 3.00
Vandoren V12s.

This overtones issue is one that gets addressed in
discussions of brands of pianos. Steinway is the
instrument that produces a "complex" bunch of
overtones (compared to a Boesendorfer).. It's a
"complex" sound with a lot going on beside the
fundamental. Is it bad? I'd like to hear more about it.
I don't understand all that much factually, but I do
believe I can _hear_ it. -----Bill F.
