Just to put my two cents in, although I think you already know this =
Tara, I really like the Zonda reeds. Unlike any other brand I have ever =
bought, when I get a box (5 in a box) I generally find that I have 5 =
wonderfully playable reeds where I can produce a nice clear tone on each =
one with little to no adjusting required.

As these reeds cost less than half what a box of 10 Vandoren reeds cost =
here in Toronto, and are about 500% more consistent, guess which brand I =
prefer to buy.

One problem I do find is that the Zonda does seem to break down a little =
faster - you have to rotate your reeds more frequently. Still, with 5 =
out of 5 working, as opposed to 1 or 2 out of 10 with that other =
kind............
