 Re: NOS Olivieri reeds - how to make them better?

I would also appreciate if you commented on the following observations I made over the last week testing these reeds.
After breaking in all 10 reeds (playing them for 5 minutes) for 4-5 days I expected them to stabilize and become what they actually were.

After that break-in period they behave strangely: I can play on any of 10 reeds for about 10 minutes and they sound decent. After around 10 minutes, some less, some more they all loose resilience(?) and become unplayable.

At first I thought it was me, the unexperienced player but then I realized it were reeds because I could play my good Vandoren reed well in between these trials.

My instructor told me this time when I asked him about this strange reed behaviour that probably because of the large fibers on these reeds they would require longer break in period and until then they will work this way. Does it make sense?
