As Pete Fountain said when he was asked about advice for young musicians, "play the f**king trumpet! I have spent way more than $100,00.00 dollars on reeds and I only ever got only two that were good." Pete however was good. Mr. Ridenour your system has made almost every reed I buy pretty good. Too bad that I am not.
Not really. The point of adjusting reeds is to make them work with your own setup and artistic needs...you can't do that with plastic ones. You only can adapt to them or not
Hi William Sorry to post here but I’ve sent several emails to Ted during the last few weeks with no response. Would you mind mentioning it to him please. Kind regards, André Ryjoch Adelaide, South Australia

This sounds like a good argument for synthetic reeds, which are much, much more consistent than cane reeds.

I don't know anything about your reed-balancing system. Do you have a link to it? Will it scale for saxophones?

@@avarmadillo, thank you, Sir!
@@PhinAI It's actually the largest selling reed finishing system in the world...because it's the easiest to learn and to use with great results.
