Subj: [kl] Grand Concert Select Thick equivalent of V12

Hi everyone!

First of all, thanks everyone for answering and commenting on my
postings about R13 key platings and Orly case. I just placed an order for
it and I hope I won't be dissapointed.
During my last lesson with my clarinet teacher, he mentioned that
he tried the new and improved Grand Concert Select Thick and he said he
liked it very much. He mentioned that they appeared to be as consistent as
they claimed, but he wants to give it a shot for a couple of weeks before
deciding if the claim if verified as that was his first box. I was getting
pretty frustrated with my V12 (who doesn't?) and was thinking of giving
the Grand Concert a try. They are more expensive than V12 though.

The question I have is, what is the size on the Grand Concert
Select Thick that is equivalent of V12 size 3? I am trying to determine
the size so that I can get the proper size I can play on. I know that it
won't match perfectly but a closest approximate would be great too.

Maybe I'll give hydrogen peroxide a try on my V12 before resorting
to Grand Concert reeds. I apologize if this size issue have been discussed
before. Thanks everyone, I appreciate it! :)

Soo
