Re: Articulating with the throat

Bob,

I've recently switched from rue lepics to v12s (equivalent strengths), if that answers any questions. Initially I thought it might be an allergy as well, but I've been playing for 3 years now and haven't ever really encountered something like this, so I figured it unlikely. Just to be sure I tried holding the reed in my mouth for about 10 minutes and observed no allergy symptoms.

I have experienced this a few times before but it went away after a day (sorry forgot to mention that). My main theory right now is that my throat is already raw or tender before I play, and like Philip said, the air might be irritating it to the point that it's a bit sore. Does this sound plausible?
