Re: Why are professionals going for harder reeds?

>> If you're using your jaw muscle for anything other than chewing nuts and steak, then you've got the wrong concept of what is going on.

>> That's called "biting.">>

You have two sets of jaw muscles, one set to close your teeth and the other, opposing set to open them.

The balance between these two sets creates the stable gap between the teeth on which the embouchure is founded. See The wrench method.

>> Also "capacity" is not correct either. It is an active pushing of the air out, not volume. I think Stanley Drucker is still doing that correctly at 90.>>

Harder reeds tend to require a larger volume of air at a given dynamic, so you may well need softer reeds to play the longer phrases as you age.

>> This thread almost feels like we are being 'punked.'>>

Especially when you join it.
