I am a senior in high school and I've gradually been weaning off my teacher's reeds. I buy my cane pre-gouged and I've made some really wonderful reeds (and some really crappy ones!!) but my teacher still helps me out here and there.
There's this one reed I made with an absolutely GORGEOUS tone. It's rich and dark and wonderful. It's a relatively young reed and the opening is still in the process of being tamed. When I get the opening to close to an amount that is pleasant to play on, the lower register and the middle register respond really well.
Anything above a high C# does not.
Does my reed just need time to break in or is there something else I should do adjust it? I'm really tentative about adjusting it because I do not want to compromise it's lovely sound.
I'm going to ask my teacher anyway, but I'd still like thoughts. Thank you.
