NOnonononoooooo. Rico reeds are FANTASTIC because they're really cheap.
when I used vandoren, rico royal etc. and i was thinking 'oh it must be
so difficult because they're harder' and, when I went back to the same
strengh on rico it was much ,muach easier!! These reeds are fantastic. I
haven't actually plucked up the courage to buy an oboe reed yet, but I'm
sure if rico made them they'd be great too!

Frances:
You seem to be assuming that all reed makers' numbers mean the same. They
certainly *don't*.
