Re: Decline in reed quality - Alternatives?

First off all, it depends on how high your stanards are. I've been very happy with the Rico Thick blank and Reserve, I suggest you try all their cuts and see if you prefer one over the others, they have 4 or 5. Of course it helps to break them in properly and learn to make adjustments and everyone has their own method. Mine, on my website, has been very successful for me. There was a time, many years ago, I would just find a good reed and play it but all to often it would change so much the next day or two that it was no good. I began doing my break in method about 30-40 years ago when I started making my own but have been using the Rico brands the past 15 or so years because I like them so much.
