Paul Aviles,

Re "The downside is that they will not allow enough vibrancy of sound to achieve the best tone or projection as compared to a good cane reed that is working properly (compare the extreme altissimos where the reed realy has to earn its keep).", you may want to reconsider that statement. Artie Shaw made some of his most famous and best-selling recordings with a plastic reed. Res ipsa loquitur.

Regards,
Hans
