 Re: matching reeds to acoustics

In simple terms I find a generous or resonant acoustic requires a slightly softer reed.
Conversely a dry or dead acoustic needs a stronger reed.
Playing in a wind band outdoors and especially if located on grass is a good test of what a suitable reed will feel like. Too soft and you will make a most dispiriting sound !

However there is one caveat - my observations are based on how the reed feels and sounds to me. To the more distant listener the differences are not so apparent.
