Oh, yes, I have heard of them. In fact, I was one of the people who
constituted an "advisory panel" for Zonda just before the saxophone reeds
came out on the market, but I have no financial stake in the company,
except for the fact that they gave me a few free reeds to try. Actually,
they are currently my favorite reeds for use in "legit" saxophone playing.
I have used some of the clarinet reeds, but haven't spend enough time
trying to figure out exactly what strength I need. As has been mentioned
in this thread, they come in about 20 different strengths.

The quality of the cane is excellent and very consistent, and the grading
is also very accurate. I have heard some people say that they don't last
as long as some other reeds, but I really haven't had that problem myself.

They are definitely worth a try, IMHO.
