Re: Bass clarinet reeds

Yeah, I agree with Dave S. on the break-in regimen for Marcas, which are the only reed I've found consistently good on bass (with a Selmer C85-115 mouthpiece). The Rico Grand Concerts are pretty good right out of the box, but in my experience they go downhill fast.

Meanwhile, I've been making a pest of myself with Davie Cane, calling frequently to find out when they'll have bass reeds available to sell (It keeps being "try back in a couple weeks" each time I call).

We should re-visit this entire discussion after the Gonzalez bass reeds have been available for a while.
