You'll know when it's time to move up to a medium reed when you find that your medium-soft reed keeps closing up on you when you try to play it, that it doesn't give you enough resistance.

Also, be aware that different reed-maikers have different opinions of what "soft", "medium" and "Hard" mean: I found that Fox reeds tend to be softer than other reeds. A Fox medium to me felt like a Soft by other reedmakers, and an Evans medium-soft that I bought on eBay I still can't play comfortably, it's just too hard.

There's nothing automatic about when you should move up to a harder reed; it's just when the reed you're using starts feeling too flabby and soft.

You'll just know, that's all.

But you shouldn't judge by the LaVoz reed you're using. Spend some time playing with Fox reeds. Get yourself a couple medium-soft AND a couple mediums, and fool around with them.

Make sure you mark them to tell them apart. I put little pieces of red thread around the Mediums.
