What to me was a rumor several years ago is now fixed in my mind as a law, thanks to your observations and my own recent experience: Marigauxs are very reed-tolerant, and even sort of reed-improving.
The flip side of this, though, is that the Marigaux may limit the sorts of sounds one can achieve. That's fine if you always want the same dark tone. But playing my rental Bulgheroni for over a month now, I find that I can hear a lot more nuances in sound that I never heard from my Marigaux. It's made me a better reed maker, I think. I used to read how scraping here or there caused this or that effect, and, to a small extent, I could hear how it did. But now it's []obvious[], and I'm becoming a better judge of when a reed is "done" because I can hear the problems with reeds more clearly. I feel like I have a much better idea how to create different sounds with my reeds. I don't think my "taste" has kept up with my new-found abilities--I'm probably still a bad judge of what sort of sounds I want in different musical contexts. But I can imagine developing, as Tabuteau had, a sense of what kind of reed is suited to a Beethoven symphony and what sort of reed is appropriate for Händel.
Will I replace my Marigaux with another Marigaux? I don't know. I'm going to have to do some exploration. I may find myself going in the opposite direction from mjfoboe.
