Re: Reed Brand help!

Adding to SecondTry’s excellent advice, I agree that reed brand isn’t terribly important. There is going to be huge variations among all reeds no matter what brand due to the fact that cane is a natural product subject to a near infinite number of variables. That one RW reed from your teacher may have been amazing, but the next one probably won’t be.

There’s probably a Vandoren or Daddario or Legere with your name on it somewhere out there. Like the search for the perfect mouthpiece, the search for the perfect reed is lifelong and utterly futile. You need to learn to adapt so you can play just about anything. That’s the only true path to musical happiness.
