Hey "babrinka77,"


The celebrity endorsement does NOT necessarily mean that they play them all the time, and certainly does not indicate that the specific recording or live performance you heard was done utilizing these reeds.


That is not to completely refute the possibility of sounding decent on these reeds. As I tried to indicate, there is room for them to render an acceptable product. I only wish to convey the notion that although I want to be open minded about their performance, the DIRECT COMPARISON between cane and synthetic offers a good amount of contrast.


But where I disagree with your assessment is SPECIFICALLY with the "cane problems." Clearly the advantage to synthetic material IS not needing a break-in period; not having to soak before applying to a mouthpiece; not drying out during rests or while on a doubling instrument; playing the same as it did THE LAST TIME you picked it up; oh and the smoothness of the feel against the lower lip (this could even becoming addictive!!!).

I would think in Europe where there is a longer winter where the dew point is lower (little to no humidity) and the mouthpiece facings tend to be closer making the reeds constancy more critical, there would be a greater draw to the positives of synthetics.


But I'd like to conclude with this link:

Hang on until 4:18, where Karl Leister puts us in our places about reeds !!!
