 Re: How many synthetic reeds to keep in rotation?

Since we usually play at normal room temperature conditions, I don't believe there is much to be concerned with as far as ambient temperature is concerned. However, I had retired before the transition to Legere so I cannot address the more extreme temperatures in which I used to play.


There was once posted advice about bringing the effective strength of Legere down a notch by doing a quick dip in boiling water. The concept sounds valid but I never tried it and quite frankly don't recommend it. Just throwing that out there as a teperature vs Legere anecdote.


As far as when a Legere has reached the end of its useful life, they become less "brilliant" sounding and the top notes of the altissimo become difficult if not impossible to play. There is no visible physical wear and the rest of the range still plays remarkably well.
