Transitioning to Harder Reeds

Author: Anonymoose

I have always advocated playing softer reeds, specifically strength 3 in the vandoren line, as I felt they gave me so much color and flexibility in my sound. I've recently had the opportunity to play in some orchestras and I have found that these softer reeds can only serve me well for a rehearsal or two before becoming too soft and unusable in that environment. I've tried some harder reeds, 3.5's, 3.5+'s, and 4's, but I'm having a hard time truly committing as I'm not getting results.
Any suggestions?
