Castagnari reed options?
Probably too late by now, but I'd second what some others have said. I used to have a Hohner D/G and was probably blowing one or two reeds a months through playing in a ceilidh band, and for morris. I changed to a Castagnari Rik about 17 years ago, and have blown about six reeds since then. Admitedly I play less these days, but it was still being played as regularly as the Hohner was for the first 10 years or so I had it.I also find it almost impossible to overblow it in the mid range, though it is possible (but not easy) lower down the scale.I too am a very loud player.Clive |
