Marty Marks asked:

"How strong are Morre reeds. I use V12 #4."

I'd say Morre 2.5's are about equivalent to Vandoren 3 1/2 or maybe 4's, if
what I've been reading on the list about Vandorens getting softer is
accurate. I've played only a few V12's, but I'd guess the same is true
with them, so I'd suggest trying a box of Morre 2.5's to see how they work
for you; if they're too soft, obviously go up to 3's. Does that sound
right to others who have played Morre's? (By the way, Morre has an acute
accent at the end. Pronounce it like the eel. <:~~~~~~~)
