I also use V.12 4's. I have not purchased any reeds in over a year now (I
usually buy about 10 boxes at a time- I get a discount if I order 5 or more
boxes. Also I have now graduated from college and to my dismay I am not
playing very much at all anymore) so my comments don't deal with "brand new"
reeds. I very rarely use all of the reeds in the box. Some work for me and
some just don't no matter what I do while breaking them in. (Of course there
have been a few reeds that I have just *destroyed* in an attempt to make the
reed play better) I don't think that anyone will always have a perfect box
of reeds. (but wouldn't it be great!!)

Basicially the point of my rambling is- we will never have a perfect box of
reeds and will just have to make the best with whatever we purchase!
