bmcgar said "Personally, if the reed is of a reasonable strength, balanced, responds, and sounds well (even if not exactly the way the last one sounded), that's good enough for me." He's making my point exactly by saying "That's good enough for me". That's one of the things that seperates some of us from others, it's rarely good enough for many players and they're the ones, I'm hoping that includes me, that simply have a higher standard and their playing often sounds it. But that doesn't mean one has to spend an inordinate about of time breaking them in, week instead of days, constantly adjusting, having 20-30 reeds on your stand, changing reeds constantly and going crazy. That doesn't mean that you can't sound very good if you're not obsessive either. If you really know what your doing I feel the highest standard can be achieved in a lot less time than many people think. That's the point I'm trying to make. ESP
