"The (xxx reed) requires a much more constant level of support than my cane reeds. Coming from a concept of playing, where I vary my support for musical, sound, and color reasons, I wasn't used to having to provide a full support all the time, and I found myself becoming a lot more tired. Any time I didn't give the right amount of support, rather than thinning the sound a little, the reed just stopped vibrating, and it felt like a constant battle to keep the reed making sound."
I'm an advanced amateur, and I've never, ever heard anyone, at any time, advocate lessening diaphragm support. Have I missed something? What musical effect, or tone color, would be achieved by such? Can you point me to any pedagogical discussion of such?
In my playing I alter the quantity of air, and to a MUCH lesser degree its speed, but never the support. Again, have I missed something?
