Re: Professors and Professional that use softer reeds?

Reed cane seems to be getting denser, too, or at least that is what my teacher thinks. He's been playing in orchestras in my area for 35 years, and at the start of his career played #5s, now he has just switched to #3s.

In the 70s and 80s, people playing #5s seemed to be fairly common, but I rarely ever hear of anyone playing more than a #4 now. If this is in fact true, and a modern 3.5 is harder than one from 40 years ago, this exacerbates the problem of inexperienced students wanting a more 'advanced' reed that has a higher number.
