Re: Is my mouthpiece too asymmetrical?

Author: faltpihl ★2017 Date:   2015-04-21 20:40 I have a theory that is most certainly false, but if there is any truth to it it could be a reason for having an easier time with a perfectly symmetrical mouthpiece: What if many of the changes a reed goes through in the beginning, has to do with the reed somehow trying to "balance itself" to a natural symmetrical state? So that with a perfectly symmetrical mouthpiece, the reed only gets better and better as you break it in. But if your mouthpiece is more resistant on one side, you will constantly have to make adjustments on that side. I believe what has happened to my reeds that have "gone bad" was always fixed by scraping some more on the resistant side (right side in my case). I will try to take more notes in my reed handling to see if I can make up some hokum theory in the future Regards Peter
