Hi guys and gals,
Just another learning question from me. Why do some reeds play perfectly straight out of the container and others need to be broken in first. I got a new set of vandorens about a week ago and there still crappy as. They are so porous its incredible. You put them in your mouth and suck on them and they just flow straight through them, the last lot I had when you sucked on them they were fairly resistant to drawing moisture through them nand they played fantastic, and just before they completely died they are not even slighly porous, and I only ended up throwing some away because they squeeked every time I went to play on them. These new reeds are so hard to play with and they sound horrible. Ive been playing on them each day but there YYYYuck. Any recommendations can you get a bad batch of reeds, whaat do you look for on a good reed
Thanks
Steve
