Re: Reeds or Mouthpiece?

My answer is 'yes. it's a good reed'.
What is a reed? It's a piece of wood that bends and bounces back. So, if that reed's wood is really good then it will bend and come back really well. I used to make all my reeds by hand and I could take most reeds and make them great with adjustments. But I could never make certain brands good, no matter what I did. If I took 3 boxes of 1 brand I could adjust them and get 25 good reeds playing just how I want. But from another brand I could get 5-8. I was using all the same tools, but some cane just didn't move the way I wanted.
