Re: young student legere questions

When I'm playing a gig (practice) that's hour + long, I usually swap to another Legere half way through. But in a pinch, wiggling the reed higher - slightly above the mouthpiece- always cures any 'too soft' problems immediately. I've never notice any ill effects on response when I do this.
I even take my reed off and try to 'air dry' it during any intermissions or more notably, long winded conductor speeches during concerts. I seem to have few issues with my reed getting too weak.
