Re: I've Got The Perfect Reed!

It played perfectly for me last night - I had no excuses. Perfect response, easy tuning and the tone just worked perfectly in the church we were playing in.

I bet it won't play the same next time! Last week was when I first played on it in a cathedral and although the response and tuning was just as I wanted, I felt the tone was too weighty and didn't have enough brightness - mainly as the other oboist had a nice bright tone in comparison to my thicker tone, so I could've done with a reed that matched her sound better. Last night I was the only oboe, so there was no-one else to compare tones with.

But if I can have this level of response in a reed and know how to recreate it in another one, then that's the biggest hurdle overcome.
