I am totally amazed at the difference in tone when changing reed strength. I always play ligere signature and when I move down a strength or two the tone change is like night and day.
I have much more buzz on the softer reeds probably suited to rock and blues. On the harder reeds I have much more of a breathe jazz sound brilliant for ballads.
I would even claim reed strength change has a bigger impact than mouthpiece change.
Anyone agree?
Strange that we all go hunting for the ultimate mouthpiece when a different reed set might just do the trick.... Much cheaper.
