Sticking reeds...

Author: Loliver

Hi

Recently, when playing, my reeds have an annoying tendancy to stick to the mouthpiece, making it impossible to play. This has never happened until about 2 months ago, and has never occured in the previous ~10 years, and means that I cant actually finish any piece of music that has any staccato notes in it at all.

I have changed reeds, changed strngths i.e tried everything from a vandoren 4 down to a vandoren 2, and even tried some rico reeds. I have also cleaned out my mouthpiece fully, and it still happens.

Any help is appreciated, as it is a bit embarrasing when I can't even complete the warm up scale for orchestra!

Thanks
