Nellsonic: "I think the only way for you to make any headway here with your argument at this point is to post some video or audio of what you sound like on a reed that's many months old and has been played for the many dozens of hours you seem to put each one through. My guess is that your standards for what a reed should be able to do are as out of the mainstream as your approach to reeds is, but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong!"
You are right, and I drew similar conclusions some time ago. My alternative position has zilch to support it, and I apologize for presenting it that way. Sigh. I *am* out of the mainstream, far out - isolated, in fact (not just in music either.) Only my own ears to go by, in which I recognize a likelihood of, ah, outsized internal feedbacks.
Recently, leading toward the idea of taking online lessons, I upgraded my microphone and camera to something better than worst. I'm procrastinating on the lessons out of fright, but I should at least try to record myself and see/hear some externalized reality. I may then retract or alter my past claims. Or just ditch.
