Re: What SIZE Reed? SIZE??????

Dealing with students regularly I have become habituated to the "noise."

Interestingly though there is a greater tendency for different SIZES to be used more freely these days.

Many great players who double on Eb use Bb reeds. German players can use Boehm Eb flat reeds on their Bb horns and even Boehm Bb reeds (though the size is WAY too big for the German mouthpiece. Somewhere I saw a Leister video where he basically said he's used every kind of Vandoren reed on his Oehlers).

So, I realize that wasn't the thrust of this thread but it's an "ironicle" twist on the theme.
