Re: Thoughts on Silverstien's Alta Ambipoly reeds

I tried them on soprano, I think they "feel" closer to a cane reed, but at the end I had the same issue I had with legeres. I cannot play the high altissimo notes well on them, reed just fails completely to respond, I mean stuff above altissimo G.

I think for anyone starting on the instrument they are just fine though. Honestly if I was a younger player these days I would not object to practicing on these or legeres european cut.

Edit: I know for a fact better players can get those high notes to work, just look up corrado giufreddi and he gets them pretty consistently, so I think I just need to commit to the switch and give it enough practice.
