Re: Choosing Synthetic Reeds (Legree)

Most folks need one GOOD non-wood instrument for use in crummy conditions and as a backup. I found, however, that my Yamaha YCL-250 was so sharp as to be worthless for outdoors concerts in the summer ...

With modern design and manufacturing you can get a non-wood instrument that plays wonderfully without spending a mint and will give you peace of mind during extreme weather conditions.

You might find a pretty old R13 for a grand, one resource is a good clarinet teacher (college level) that might have some inside info ... get a really good tech to tweak and check it before you play test ... I'd spend the extra for the R13 because you can recover most of your money when it comes time to trade up or sell, and it plays much better than the E11. You many not appreciate the difference now, but you might in a few years.

I sold an R13 a couple of years ago for more than what I payed for it ...!

Tom
