Re: New Approach: Cane vs. Synthetic

My understanding is that one of the major challenge for synthetis is to get the tip as thin as cane.

Anyway, I started experimenting with Legere in the late 90s, but always found myself going back to cane.

I am playing a show right now with a few tricky soft entrances after long tacets which makes me really nervous when playing cane. I bought a signature 3.75 and found it to be a great match with a Vandoren M15 (13) but unfortunately only work ok with my Behn vintage mouthpiece. For this show, I think I'll go synthetic, it's just a safer setup.

Next on the docket for me is Copland Symphony #3, which is a challenge for any reed/mouthpiece combination with both lyrical wide legato intervals, and fast staccato altissimo playing. In my practice so far, I find the Behn/cane combination a more flexible setup.
