 Re: How many performance reeds do you keep ready?

I'm glad most play on older reeds. In truth, I feel like my reeds get beter with age, but I've been making them very slowly, as I keep changing the way I scrape, and it is taking time. I'm still having trouble with pp in the low register.

As far as a numbering system goes, double letters: AA, AB...BA, BB...ZZ should give you 676 possibilities if my math is right (26x26?).

I'm starting oboe late in my career, so I don't have a savings of old staples. I will have to purchase my own. I"m toying with the idea of getting 46mm staples instead of 47mm. I'm a pit musician, my oboe will be played cold frequently (Very scared of cracking here), and in general brass players in pits are just sharp anyway (at least the amature ones), let alone flute players. Of course, clarinet players are the opposite, and I just finished "A Chorus Line" where I swear the clarinet and flute player had a half step difference between them. Drove me insane. (My position was Alto sax, Flute, Piccolo, Clarinet for that show).

Long story just a little bit longer, any feelings on 46mm vs 47 mm staples?
