Hi BflatNH,

Thanks for the input.

Through my 3.5 year clarinet journey I've tried a lot of stuff. And I've heard many times about harder reeds for higher notes. So I kept striving and trying harder/stronger reeds, but have ultimately failed at that and am now trying to stay with my original 2.5's. With my years of Legeres I even rejected 2.75, and mostly used 2.25 and 2.5. For a time I was making myself use Mitchell Lurie 3.0 and 3.5, but I recently recalibrated myself on Vandoren blues and rejected their 3.0 in favor of 2.5. Sigh.

But remember that my problem is not in playing my range on my chosen strength and setup- I'm actually golden. My problem is that it won't hold over a reasonable playing period. So your suggestion of this new Gonzalez reed is actually worth a shot. I see them available down to 3.25, in full boxes of 10 as usual. I can (ATG) adjust the strength down as needed, or perhaps their 3.25 is similar to a Vandoren blue 2.5 (or it could go the other way). Sure wish I could try 1 or 2 somewhere- maybe I'll call around Otown.
