Re: good reeds

Thanks also for the comments on breaking in reeds.

I am working now on learning to break in reeds, learning from this page:

https://www.utm.edu/departments/clarinet/_pdfs/Reeds.pdf

I have bought a box for my reeds with a glass plate to keep them flat.

Oddly, having looked at my box of 10 reeds with my camera and chosen the best looking one, it turned out to be really brilliant, so I think that have in a good look close-up is helping me. I hope next to learn how to adjust the reeds, so I will have a go and see how I get on. It seems like a big learning curve, but I think it will be worth the effort.

I will look out for green reeds and all the things mentioned and do my best. :-) I would really like to learn to adjust reeds to fit my mouthpiece.
