 Re: Ambipoly reeds

Ok - I played the Ambipoly reed at last night's rehearsal and even with low attendance numbers due to the storm we had, I found it hard work to play at any volume level above mf. Maybe it's more suitable for small ensemble playing.

I had no trouble with my Legeres at all volume levels from pp through to ff, so that's what I'll be sticking with for the duration. I'll keep the Ambipoly reed for workshop use as not all oboes have the same diameter reed socket, so having the corked staple will make that aspect better as the Legere's O rings don't fit in some narrow reed sockets (and the risk of damaging the reed on removal is much greater).
