Re: Resistant clarinet?

Wow I'm sorry! I forgot to add the most important information! I currently play on Vandoren Blue Box 3.5s.

To clarify, I said that the reeds have a low heart and are fairly transparent, I found that they have a shallower lower end of the reed when I placed them in my reed case. They tend to stick in the case a couple of millimetres more than my other reeds. I guess the might now have a lower heart but are just lower in general.

When i said they were transparent, I noted that because after warm-ups, when I brought my reed into the light, they were very easy to see through. I never mentioned that they were waterlogged because, after 4 hours of playing, they never felt softer or degraded in playing qualities.

Here is a picture of my reeds. From left to right, good reeds to outstanding reeds.

Could this also be because it's winter time so the instrument is more resistant?
