I recently purchased a box of five Zonda reeds at the recommendation of a
fellow band member who plays many professional gigs told me they lasted a
good deal longer than other reeds he's played. I've been playing Vandoren
V-12s almost exclusively until now, and I find the Zondas to be comparable.
I only bought them about two weeks ago; however, so I'll have to decide for
myself whether they really last longer. The price at my favorite music store
was $10.50 for five reeds--close enough to the unit price of V-12s.

In case your local music stores don't carry the Zonda brand, the box bears
the following inscription: "Distributed worldwide by HiNotes, Inc. Waltham MA
USA Tel 617-894-2121."

Good luck in your search for the perfect reed!

Regards,

Jim
