Subj: [kl] Is this when I increase strength?
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 1999 17:06:28 -0500

From my recent postings on the list, you should know that I've been trying
out the Legere reed in strength three.

I've noticed that when start hitting anything above a G (all fingers on
left plus octave key), it has a tendency to be unstable when it comes to
holding the note. Is this because the reed is not stiff enough to support
this?

This only happens when I use my Gigglioti (sp?) mouthpiece, but not when I
use a LeBlanc mouthpiece I also own. The former does allow for much easier
playing than the latter.

So, is this when I just try a different strength? I've been pretty
satisfied with the tonal quality that the Legere has been giving me, and
for all intents and purposes, I'm sold. :)
