Synthetic Reed Rotation Strategies and Life Expectancy

Hi All,

I have pretty much switched over the Legere' reeds on bass and Bb soprano clarinet. However, over several months of use for both I've noticed subtle changes in responsiveness and tone quality among the reeds. Of course, each reed never played exactly like the others so I do have "practice" as well as "performance" favorites.

Although nothing lasts forever, how many synthetic reeds do you normally have in rotation and have you found any life expectancy tendencies/issues?

PS Kilo gave me some really great feedback already on http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=321967&t=321967
