 Re: Dark reeds?

I can see your whole point here. The most valuable things that i have learned over the past few months in conservatory has been to make reeds that WORK instead of reeds that sound round and fat (dark?), in fact, reeds that work often sound "dark"! I like RESONANT reeds, responsive, capable of many dynamic possibilities, and literally creates vibrations in one's fingers when played on even at the softest possible dynamic. To achieve that, i have had to dig through a lot of substantially concrete information, very scientific things, and i have since improved improved tremendously on reed making though still far from what i want to achieve.

Holliger in an interview with the IDRS once famously desribed how he felt so angry after a recital of his when students approached him to talk about reeds instead of the music that he played. He obviously made the most flexible reeds which allowed him to expressed whatever he wanted to and it did not always result in very "dark" reeds.
