Ditto on using more MP. You can use too much ... but I have to gag myself to reach this point.
Ditto on plastic reeds ... they respond well, sound good, but won't play in tune for me. It's the amorphous internal structure of plastic reeds that makes them not quite right ... IMHO
Over the last 3 days, I have found that the Reserve X0, Pilgerstorfer Dolce #3.5 and the stock 66mm R13 (Greenline) barrel with two 0.50 mm tuning rings are right on the money ... A-440 at 72F. Absolutely the best setup I've tried. Of course, I may change my mind tomorrow, but right now, I am ready to leave all my other MPs and reeds for the garbage man, and not look back.
Taking more MP and NO BITING helps this setup work.
Luethners on the way ... I will check these out ... maybe some of Behn's too, later.
At lot of really good alternatives to Rico and Vandoren ... we are so lucky nowadays.
