I think it's the Grand Concert Evolution reeds. I use them at the moment.
Originally I used Vandoren, before moving on to V12s, but I found them all
quite unreliable and inconsistant. The Evolution reeds appear to be much
more reliable, and I have also found they last much longer, making them a
great investment (as a student, every little helps!!!)

Hope this is of some use
