Re: Synthetic reeds
I once had a lessons teacher who was doing a gig and he was using a fibracell reed. Then, all of a sudden, it quite working. He told me he tried to play and he blew as hard as he could but he couldn't get anything to come out. I still stay in close contact with him and he still hasn't touched the plastic reeds. He probably hasn't used them in ten or more years. Anyways, I don't think that fibracell reeds give you the rich tone quality that a cane reed gives you. My opinion is, no matter what brand it is, leave it for marching band. I used to use one for pep band and marching band because of their endurance. As in the post above, I would much rather torture myself with cane reeds.
