Subject: Re: [kl] evolution reeds

That's exactly what I found!! I recieved some trial Evolution Reeds through
the post, and I found that all three of them were playable. I've been using
a size 3 for just over a week (I think??) and it's been very impressive.

Originally, I was using the V12s, but I think I may invest in some
Evolutions. I find them much easier to play higher notes with better
intonation, and a fuller tone. They also produce a clearer sound throughout
and appear to be more reliable than the V12s. Therefore, there must be a
catch somewhere. Can anyone tell me how much they cost? I'm sure it's got to
be some ridiculous amount!!!

Em-does Jon stock them?
