I find even altering the shape of the cane and its density dictate changes in the way a reed should be made.

Harold Gomberg was who I listened to, when my own teacher had passed away and I could no longer model on his terrific sound.

I have a separate set of concert-quality reeds for my Gordet and my Jarde, so of course the instrument has something to do with 'flexibility'. I use each instrument for a different setting and yes, I will change a reed to match the composer's style, using a slightly different sound for Beethoven than for Telemann. It depends on the ensemble, the conductor's preference, and the sound in the hall/auditorium too. For amateurs, I think it's of some benefit to compliment the sound of the 1st (or 2nd) you play with.

I guess when push comes to shove it is always worthwhile to take time to listen to yourself and give the performance the best sound for that situation. I'll probably be experimenting with 'covered' 'dark'
'warm' 'responsive' etc. till I'm too old to play anymore. Which, I hope, is many years away.
