My recommendation to other clarinetists has been to find and keep a couple synthetic reeds that you like close at hand, even if you're a true believer in cane reeds. That way, no matter what happens, you'll always have a couple reeds you can use on a moment's notice, with no preparation, and you'll get a predictable sound from them. One of my friends arrived late and played an entire concert with a synthetic reed, thinking it was one of his cane reeds, and never realized which one he was using until afterward. His tone was no different than usual, which tends to suggest that the differences in how we perceive it may be mental rather than actual.
