Re: dry mouth problem

I'm 69 and began playing again 18 months ago after not playing for 50 years. Finding a reed and mouthpiece that worked for me was an interesting challenge. I tried 10 different reeds: cane reeds from #2 to 3 1/2, Legere synthetic reeds #3 and 3 1/4, and Fibrocell synthetic reed 3 /12 and 4. I love synthetic reeds - no fuss, no muss and, to your point, no moisture needed! Fibrocell are less expensive and quite a bit softer - I found a #4 Fibrocell to be equivalent to the Legere #3. Anyway, I ended up playing exclusively with Legere #3 Signature on a VanDoren M30 mp. Good luck!
