Re: advice needed on reeds

A new model Forestone 4.5 should be just about right for you. It's a new synthetic reed from Japan that I have been using for over a year that has liberated my need to deal with the non-stop hassels and disadvantages of cane reeds. Forestones play and sound just like any good cane reed and they last indefinately--at least, mine have. FWIW, I play orchestral, wind ensemble and jazz events and my main concert set-up is: A & Bb vintage R-13 clarinets with a Chicago Kaspar #14 mpc--Vandy Optimum lig. With this set-up I am playing F 4.5 & 5.0 (their hardest) reeds.
