Re: Benefits of hard reeds

No-one can tell you what’s right for you. But it seems that everything is not working perfectly for you.

It sounds a little soft to me, knowing the vandoren recommendations. I think not biting is an important goal, but be careful you are not equating that with no or too little muscle effort in your embouchure (particularly sides of mouth)

That being said, I would also be curious to know if the problem with wide leaps and the altissimo is all down to the reed or if there is a technical issue (breath support, embouchure consistency, tongue position etc) that needs resolving.
