Ken, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disparage the idea of practice reeds. I've really never understood what they were. Not every one of my reeds (4-6 or 7 at a time) is a great reed. They're either "in process" - meaning I don't think they're quite ready yet and am still trying to improve them over a couple of cautious sessions with a reed knife, ATG or rush - or they're good and I do my practicing and performing on them until they aren't good anymore. Any that are "in process" that don't work out get discarded and I start a new one. What I wrote in my other response wasn't meant to criticize what you do, and I apologize if it came off sounding that way.
