Re: Squeaky Reed

It occurred to me that maybe professional players do not just start with a 2 reed and go in order until reach the end then start over, but maybe realize different registers require different reeds and maybe practice the piece before the concert and learn what reed works best. I have read that beginners start with soft reeds then progress to harder ones, but maybe they do not then stay at that strength reed but vary according to music and the highness or lowness of the notes. I have not read this and do not know professional players but I thought this might to some degree be true. I have read that softer reeds work best for low register and harder for high register, and normally one starts out with soft and progresses to high. But maybe some music calls for soft and some for hard? Have to change my approach.
