"Finally, on a whim, I tried the mitchell lurie
#2.5's and find the sound is a little better, high
notes a little easier etc. Two months ago, these reeds
would have been impossible, but the #2's sounded
pretty good."

What I was trying to say was that my embouchure had
strengthened, not just in two months, but in the 7
months since my return to clarinet-dom. If I had tried
to return with the 2.5 or 3 strength reed I stopped
with 20 years ago, I would have given up.... again.
