Re: "learning" to play a softer reed?

Reed selection all depends on the mouthpiece.

I like Brad Behn's words that there should be no sound of air when you play pp. I hear a lot of air passing through on many clarinetists.

Circular breathing and slap tonguing is way easier with softer reeds.

I think clarinetists having strong reeds is very similar to golfers having too stiff shaft flex on their clubs. In both cases they think "harder is better". Not necessarily.
