Re: Reed Strength

The only difference is the resistance of the reed, the higher the strength the greater the resistance.
You choose the strength to match the characteristics of the mouthpiece and your style of playing. You do not change any other characteristics of your playing etc.
For every mouthpiece and embouchure there is an optimum reed strength and that and only that is correct for that specific situation.
A player does not gravitate from a 1 constantly towards a 5. Assuming a mature and practiced embouchure, they choose what works for them and stick with that.
