 How to Avoid "Outgrowing" Reed Strengths
Author: BarrelOfMonkeys

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has tips for sticking with thin reeds and avoiding "outgrowing" them. Classical players tend to "graduate" through increasing thicknesses, and thinner ones are too "buzzy" for them. I don't want to do that, as I want the more flexible playing that jazz, Roma, Turkish folk, and Klezmer people enjoy.

Background: I double lip, and I've heard that favors thinner reeds anyway. But I also plan on doing a lot of single lip, too, now. I also like to play a variety of dark styles, like modern orchestral, Eastern European folk, etc. My mouthpiece is a Vocalise H (big dark sound) with a Rovner Dark ligature. Dark is my thing. No bright Kenny G. crap.

And people say I monkey around...
