 Re: How many synthetic reeds to keep in rotation?

There’s a fellow with the San Francisco Symphony who rotates through as much as four reeds during a performance. There are no “fibers” per se. They are plastic. Warmer plastic is more malleable than colder plastic. For me the trick is starting off with a brand new reed that is a little stiffer than you’d prefer. After a few plays it remains “permanently” at the right strength. I play hours per sitting and play all day long with no issues. BUT, I leave that reed in a flat reed guard for at least four days to ensure it “cools” flat. No reason NOT to let an individual reed sit unplayed for a few days.
