Re: Soft Reeds Update...

Don,

Doesn't this discussion about reed strength need to take into account the tip opening and/or facing curve of your mouthpiece?

Using softer reeds on a mouthpiece with a 1.10 mm (or smaller) tip doesn't make much sense. But, if you have a more open mouthpiece then it would then make sense to use somewhat softer reeds.

Tip opening and reed strength are like two sides of a formula. Both have to be taken into account.
