Super20Dan,
Thanks for the reminder. When I was playing tenor sax, my partner gave me a Plasticover reed to try one night at an outdoor concert and it worked very well. My only hassle with the reed was the color - black reeds are harder to line up on a black mouthpiece, especially in the dark!
But they are certainly cheaper than Fibracell or Legere - a box of Plasticover reeds costs the same as a single Fibracell, so I ordered a box to try for myself. I'll just use some stronger reading glasses when I fit it onto my mouthpiece. <LOL>
Jen,
I had a much better time at last night's rehearsal which helps me to believe that time and effort will help us get through this. We still have to wear instrument masks while we are rehearsing and that makes it a bit more difficult. My friend, who of course is clarinet 1, turned to me at the end and told me that he was "worn out after 60 minutes" (of a 90-minute session). It was all I could do to nod in agreement. But I did a lot better this week and never lost my embouchure; I just couldn't get enough oxygen at times. Don't quit! Keep working!
Cheers,
Ron
