Hopefully, the new & superior Forestone reeds will soon catch on as well. All it really takes a little practice & aural adjustment (your sound remains the same to your audience, it just sounds a bit different to you) to get used to playing the new synthetics, but once that has been done, freedom from cane is inevitable. What puts Forestone "over the top" for me is that they are not 100% plastic, but a composite containing bamboo fibres allow a more "cane like" feel in response and performance. When I switched, no one in any ensemble--orchestra or band--noticed any change in my tone quality or musical expressiveness. Except me, that is, in terms of the reed being always consistant, ready to play and maintaining it's strength throughtout the entire gig. Synthetics??--I say give them a try for a while and, maybe like me, you'll never return to cane. Legere or Forestone, my choice is the latter.

Either way, synthetics are the reeds of the future.
