We can take the question from the "other side":
-we are very lucky for having not always the same 2 or 3 reeds.

I am not the same "guy" every day (mind and body),
with the same musical wishes, i don't play in the same room,
i don't play the same music, etc.
And the cane reed help me to stay more creative, adaptable,
with an opened musical mind, attentive to different sounds,
ways to produce them, etc.
Cane reeds help me "moving".
I dont think that is a "distraction" at all.

But i understand very well your points of wiew
and like also to play with "Legere" reeds.
All your mails will encourage and rassure me for using them !

If the clarinet is so important for us , why don't we all live in
the "VAR' land and ... speak french ;-)
I apologise (again) for my bad english, i will practice it and do my best.

All the best for you.

PS: - Imagine if we always had played on 'synthetic' reeds and
just discover now the cane material ;-)
- I wonder if cane and bambou are not new materials in our
europen/american industrial technology.
I have a very technical book talking about the way archeologists
use to preserve, stabilise the old wood
(small soaked boat, "vannerie" , etc).
I know that Vandoren did'nt study this kind of technics
because musicians are very "conservative".
