Re: Legere reeds splitting

Thanks for the helpful comments. Most of the time I take my clarinet apart after practicing/playing, so I don't use the caps. I do rotate 3 or 4 Legere reeds, keeping the ones not being used in a Vandoren 6 reed case, along with a couple of VD cane reeds. I certainly try to be careful handling the reeds. I probably do tighten the ligature pretty tight--it seems to me I have to tighten the ligature more for the Legeres than for cane reeds for them not to move some as I play. I'll try backing off that some. The splits have been in the middle 3/4 of the reed.
