Re: New reed adjustment method

Hi Karl,

Sorry I missed this back in March. Thanks for commenting.

I used to play a 2.5 Vandoren V12 or Rigotti Gold 2.5 and I used to get about 3 good ones from a box of 10.

I have recently switched back to classic vandoren 1.5 because I am trying to do Gade's fantasy piece which has that quick hoppy bit at the end and my reed was just not sounding quickly enough, or at all, on some of the notes.

I seem to do a lot better on the 1.5, though my teacher says my high notes are a bit flat. He said maybe we should aim to get good on the 1.5 and then work back up to a harder reed to get the notes in tune. I thought that sounded like a good idea.

I'm not really sure what the problem is but it might just have been a tricky year. I missed 8 months of lessons to covid, and then have been doing lessons over zoom. It entirely possible that when I get back to in-person lessons then we'll be able to just resolve the problem easily.

If you have any thoughts I'd be glad to know though.

Thanks!

Jen
