 Yup, for sure each setup is different for each person.  But I think a guide even in the VAUGEST sort of way is better than utter crapshoot experimentation.  I'm slightly better now, but at the beginning, I really felt disabled that there was so little to go on.  Maybe it's because I'm a scientist, but I didn't like to go about it without an educated guess. :-P
 
 The other day I asked my teacher about cane and a brand came by as a passing thought.... Teacher: "that's an unbelievably hard cane I can't play on" ..... then came the sudden realization that ... Me: "duh, that's probably why those reeds don't work".  You may ask why I didn't ask my teacher first, that's because it was for the baroque oboe, and I was just going on recommendation.  But had I known that this was unbelievably hard cane (from a list) I would have nixed the idea of buying this type and gone for something I think might have been better for me.
