I second the emotion!! Give me Zondas!!

And while we're at it--if the Gonzalez family starts making alto reeds, I'd
buy them too.

In my humble opinion, warm dank weather will turn ANY reed cane to mush.

It is NOT fair (again IMHO) to say Zonda cane is crap. In my experience the
reeds (and the cane) have been uniformly excellent. I made my own reeds for
many years, and understand better than most what makes a good reed. My
congratulations to the Gonzales family, as well...this seems to be an
excelllent product.And if they dont work for everyone, well that's why we
have
multiple products in ANY market.

One more point. My only REAL option for BCL reeds is Vandoren. How many BCL
players out there would like to see Zonda BCL reeds????????
