A friend of mine here in Toronto gave me a very high-tech looking
box of five to try.
I found them to be very good so far.
They seemed harder than their Vandoren V12 cousins of the same strength.
I.E. I usually play a V12 3 1/2 right out of the box, with a
little knife action to even up the reed.
A 3 1/2 Zonda needed a bit more wood taken off. I would try 3's next.

Some one told me that Zonda's were grown "pesticide free". Is this true?
