I know purists will moan when I ask this, but...

has anyone tried the "Harry Hartmann's Fiberreed" advertised in the Woodwind
and Brasswind catalog (spring/summer 98)? This is a synthetic reed,
"manufactured from Hollowfiber foam compound, a newly developed material
that performs better than cane".

Well... maybe. But my experience with reeds is very frustrating, and I find
in a box of reeds a significant variation in strength. These are advertised
as "not for everyone, but one exactly like the other".

If anyone has tried these, I would like to hear about it.
