Re: Which reeds work best for you on the 5RV Lyre, M13 or M30?

Thanks for all the feedback. I ended up ordering a box each of:
Rue lepic 3
Rue Lepic 3.5+
Rue Lepic 4

I already have:
Vandoren 1.5 (the very first box I got 3 months ago)
Rico #2
a couple of Vandoren 2.5
V12 3.5

Pretty soon I can open a reed shop.

I'm not 100% sure between V12 and RLP but I noticed the V12s get this "dark" thing in the heart of the reed after a while whereas the RLPs don't seem to.

I've also learned about rubbing the top of the reeds to try to "seal" the fibres and minimise this. Not sure if it works or not...

And.... once I've figured out the ideal MP + reed..... I'll try synthetics next :D
