Re: M13L VS BD5

GBK,

I think I felt a pain in my jaw as I read "#5 reed with a Kaspar". I played an M30 with 5's for a few weeks back in 2006 or so. It seemed like a great idea at the time...until I let my teacher try the setup and nothing but the sound of air blowing through the horn resulted. His response was, "That's what I thought...your reeds are way too hard". Not coincidentally, the muscles in my face were starting to give me trouble and endurance was reduced.

He handed me his setup (Kaspar Cicero with 3.5's) and it was like an explosion of sound, making the point quite clear that I needed to relax a bit!
