I used to think that Vandoren reeds were the best. They probably are.
However, I would only use maybe 3 out of a box of 12 reeds. For Mitchell
Luries, I can pick one blind folded. I switched around and tried La Voz,
and Marca (bad quality)...

Has anyone ever used the Selmer Omega super hard reeds? Also, whats the
difference between the Vandoren reeds and the Vandoren "Advanced" reeds
(besides it say advanced)?

Regards.
