 Re: breaking in reeds

I set up the whole box at the same time. I want to know the distribution of light to stiff reeds, how many are concert worthy, etc etc etc.

Given the general thought that in each box three reeds are great, three are bad, three are workable, (one is worthless), preparing the whole box allows you to know what you’ve got, assuming your organizing your reeds in some meaningful fashion.

If the majority of the box is great — wonderful. If the majority of the box is dreck, time to order more.

I can see the truth behind much of what Bob has to say. I recently set up two boxes of the same brand/strength simultaneously. The two boxes had radically different reeds in them. The second box was largely worthless.
