From: Everett Austin <austine@-----.EDU> Subj: Steuer French cut reeds Date: Fri, 25 Oct 1996 02:59:19 -0400
I bought some Steuer "French Cut " reeds recently. I was disappointed, as
the vamp length was too short and although they were obviously nicely
finished and balanced, they did not play well on any mouthpiece I have and
generally seem designed with something else in mind. The width is
correct, but vamp decidedly shorter than Vandoren or Glotin. Does anyone
have a comment or experience with these reeds?

(back to Glotin and Vandoren, meanwhile- Glotin has someone who puts 2-3
good reeds in each box, unlike the mystery employee at Vandoren that so
many players seem to know of)
