Subj: [kl] New Oliveri reeds
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 15:04:09 -0500

I've been having good luck recently with some samples of Oliveri reeds
gotten from repairman.

Oliveri is now using cane from France and has changed his cut slightly. On
the telephone, he said he's still working on perfecting the tempering (a
resin) formula for this new cane and cut.

I normally use a Vandoren V-12 3-1/2 (some scraping), and found the Oliveri
3-1/2 slightly too hard and the 3's to be just about right for me.

They seem to be narrower, slightly thicker at the heel, thinner at the tip,
and thicker at the rails (all in comparison to Vandoren V-12, 3-1/2).

In all, they simply seem to vibrate and take to adjusting better for me.
