That’s how I treat my Cains with resect, and they play wonderful. Soak mine in hydrogen peroxide after use and dry them off and put in sleeve. Ready to go. The plastic on the bottom of synthetics reeds are too thick and will not vi berate as well. I roll my Cain reeds with a little roller I made. You have to remember most sax players can not afford expensive saxes, mouthpieces and reeds. Sax playing has become an expense for the average sax player. Good luck to those that do use synthetic. I travel with plastic coated reeds and I have no problem with shitty reeds. I just wish someone would make a video of what I just said. I don’t have time to do that. I take cheep plastic mouthpieces and fix I’m, so they work. I have one pro mouthpiece I use, but I can tell you the cheap plastic ones work great, unless you are making a living off of sax music. I don’t believe every pro sax player. I have pro resources locally to help me out. Go get some help from a good down to earth teacher. Video your self to see how you sound and look.
