Re: REEDS? Fibrocell?

I use Fibracell. I find it closer to cane than other synthetic reeds.
However, a good cane reed does sound better.

In my case, I often have to pick up the bari and play in a few seconds, so
it's worth it to have the synthetic. Fibracell's a good quality reed.

Don't attempt to modify a synthetic reed, though.
