It is my experience on Bb that if you do encounter a strength that "gives out" within a short period of time, you need to bump up a quarter strength and try again. This is actually how I arrived at a good strength for me. I kept encountering this issue until I found the strength that worked perfectly over time. In truth, that "perfect strength" may feel just a little strong rignt out of the box, but then it "breaks in" and you never have to look back. I have reeds going for almost a year (of course I do rotate through 4 to 8 different reeds). There are occasions where I just use the same reed two days in a row and do feel the strength wain slightly, but not to any degree where performance suffers......and a put in a LOT of hours per day.
