I've had good luck with Muncy Model reeds. For my Vandoren M13
mouthpiece, I use either a #5 Vandoren V12 or #4 Muncy. In my
experience, the Muncy reeds are consistent in strength--all the #4
reeds that I have played have been very close to the same
strength--and so far, each reed in a package of 5 has been equal
to or better than the good V12s that I've played. As for the
V12s, I consider myself lucky if I get 4 playable reeds in a box
of 10. One of these days I'll go to a clinic and find out what to
do with the other 6. Anyway, I always keep a Muncy in stock for
performance purposes.
