Just curious-

I realize YMMV, but which plate do you consider to have which effect? I
have different opinions at different times. For the hall I'm playing in
now, I use the one with four stubby projections in the corner. It gives
me the most projection and seems to have a nice, crisp staccato - but I
get indentations in the reed, so I wonder if the entire plate is
actually sitting on the reed.
