Any thoughts on selecting reeds with the stability/ inflexibiity of high C as being the measuring stick?

Arnoldstang,

I'm curious which note you mean? C6 or C7?

Regards,
Hans

Generally, if your C is unstable, a slightly harder right might be able to fix it. Or taking in a little more mouthpiece (effectively moving your lower lip further down the reed) would help it.

PS - Further down the reed? Farther down the reed? which one . . . Wow. For someone who claims english to be their primarily and sole language I really need to study up . . .

PPS - "down the reed"?!
