Hi,

I took the mp patch off and you're right, it totally transforms the situation, so that it's like a totally different mp. Without the patch, the mp is great on a 1.5 reed.

Altissimo is not working well, presumably because it is a soft reed. My teacher always I should be on at least a 2.5 to play the high notes in tune, so I figure that is what is missing on this setup with the 1.5.

I demonstrated to my husband, who gets music better than I do. He agrees that it is perfect on a 1.5 reed, but not right (like a buzzsaw he says) on a 2.5 reed. Altissimo works on the 2.5.

So our conclusion is that I should try to move to the CF on the grounds that I am then likely to get the good qualities of the CF+ but with the option to move to a 2.5 reed which will be better on the high notes.

I can buy it from the New York shop, but with no return option. We figure that if Fobes mps are so hard to get in the UK, then if it turns out to be totally unsuitable in some way, then it shouldn't be too hard to resell it. Even including postage from New York, it will be cheaper than the faded green demo mp.

So that is what I plan to do. I will send the demo mp back to London, and buy the CF from New York, and put my feet up for a few days while I wait for it to arrive.

I hope that sounds okay as a plan.

Thanks!

Jen
