I don't know about anyone else, but lately my Oliveri 4 reeds have not been
playing well. It seems to me that the boxes I bought contained reeds that had
no heart, were very soft, or contained reeds that softened after playing on
them for a short time. Has anyone else had the same problem? My teacher bought
four or five boxes, and had the same problem. Anyway, I switched to Vandoren
V12's, and they've turned out to be great, although I heard a while back that
they were a little soft. I'm interested in anyones opinions on v12's, Oliveris,
and Vandorens Black Master reeds( I think that's what they're called).
Thanks!
