How does one know definitively when these bari reeds' life is finished other than obvious physical damage? Are there things (phsyical) to look out for? Does the sound change dramatically? Does the strength change? Is there an approximate average number of hours of play a reed will last before retiring it? Thanks Donna @EverythingSaxophonePodcast for all you do for the community!

Every synthetic reed is different, as is every musician. So there's no definitive answer as to how long a reed can last. It deepens on how much you play, the type of playing, etc. Generally speaking, the sound may get duller, you may lose some range, you may even squeak on notes you never did before - the same stuff that happens with cane reeds, but synthetics give you peace of mind that you don't have to wet them, don't have to worry about temperature or humidity, and they last longer
