As an adult beginner (30+) I get frustrated VERY often. One day things just work, I am happy with my playing and the next day I feel I am so bad and just wasting time.

My personal experience is that you DO waste a lot of time and money on cane reeds till you get a feeling about them and it is one of the major issues (if not the biggest) to get frustrated as a beginner. Few weeks ago I bought two Legere synthetic reeds. Best money ever spent! IMHO as a beginner you need CONSISTENCY. Period. I still like my cane reeds sound and response better but if I only have limited time that day I just slap the Legere and it does the job perfectly.
