Re: New Approach: Cane vs. Synthetic

For me, the best synthetic reeds (which for me these days are the Legere Signature and the Forestone black bamboo) are about 95% as good as a really spectacular cane reed. Since those are rare, and even when you get one you have to worry about how long it will last, rotating, etc. It's just not worth the extra 5% - at least not to me. Having to use reeds that aren't spectacular much of the time - constant adjustments , etc. is too big of a headache, and takes too muych time away from playing and practicing. I made the switch 5-6 years ago, and have not looked back. I have never been more pleased with the overall effectiveness of my reeds, and my reed costs have been reduced dramatically. I'm not going back - ever.
