Have you ever tried Zonda? I tried them for the first time this year -
after having played Vandorens for 10yrs or so, and still play them - but I
really liked the Zondas too. They are supposed to be hand-picked, so you
are likely to have a higher percentage of good reeds per. box. It's worth a
try, right?
