Subj: Re: burning reeds (not a joke)

OK, so I've tried burning the tip of a reed, but I didn't end up with a very
smooth edge. Also I had problems getting the right shape - probably because
I don' know how big a quarter coin is, so I had to make do with some local
currency; and I think it's probably something that you get better at the
more practise you get.
Also, just a question - over here I only seem to be able to get "medium"
vandorens - that's what it says on the box anyway, so what's a V-12??
and another question - does anyone know if you can buy Zonda reeds in New
Zealand? Are they better than vandoren "medium" reeds?

Thanks to anyone who can help me
Linda
