I have been using Grand Concert reeds for the last six months, as well as
Legere's , and some hand-mades.

I find the cane uniformlly good, and the reeds well cut. The strengths
correspond fairly well to the the Vandoren strengths. Grand Concerts have a
regular blank and a thick blank. I have used both.

Also, as I said before, I really like the Grand Concert bass clarinet reeds.
They may be better than the Vandorens.
