The subject of reeds is something I like because I believe we're all
neurotic as reed players!!!

I've been playing on Vandorens 16 years of my life and I thought no
reason to change. I tried Marcas on my eefer with a 5RV mouthpiece and
I just don't like those reeds at all.

However, I've just sent through about 10 Grand Concert strength 4 on my
Pyne mouthpiece for my Bb and I do believe that I may have another love
relationship with yet another brand.

I welcome any comments.
