I did about 40 takes last night on a hard blues on my Suzuki Fire Breath
in C. The 4 hole blow reed failed completely -- just plain packed up
and quit, dropped to about an Ab.
I switched to a Lee Oskar for the next few takes, but the sound is very,
very different, even through an amp. Wouldn't be a problem except that
it will be difficult to match the takes.
This was a pretty spectacular failure, and unexpected -- I can't
remember the last time I had a blow 4 reed on a C harp fail completely.
