RE: Steuer Esser reeds

You sure about that Mark? I have a box of 5's, and they were only slightly harder than the 4.5's i was playing on last year. Now, my new Kaspar doesn't have the right curve to play such hard reeds.... so i don't use my Morr�s or my 4.5's anymore. And the Essers are FAR too hard now...

I have two boxes of the 5's right now and I am pretty sure that the strength of the 5s drops off radically compared to the lower strengths. The first box of esser's I had ordered was a 3.5 (at the time I was playing V12 4.5's) and those were only somewhat soft. Since then I've had to go to V12 5's (I eventually caught the hint the 32nd time my teacher commented on how soft my reeds sounded) - so I tried the Esser 4's (somewhat soft) and 5's (still softer than a V12 5, but nice sound).
