O-->... agreed comments. and it's because i had similar experience with the
Zondas too... the initial response with Zondas were quite alright, but they
got slightly negative over some time.
one thing i'd learnt/noticed about the Zonda reeds is that even within the
same #size of reeds, there are different gradings (eg. A, B, C, D, E,
blah...). so i may have bought a box of #3.5s, it may not be the exact
strength i'm looking for.
another thing is that it "dies out"/"gets mushy" pretty fast. i even
remember that there were timess that i didn't even have to use the reed for
a while to season-it-up.(!?). maybe this is a personal experience for me, i
don't know...
found that i went back to vandorens again though...

say, how about experiences with the rigotti gold reeds? anyone?
thanx in adv! ^_^

cheers!!!

rgds,
Jessie.
