Thank you for your honest answer regarding reeds.

I am truly maturing in my playing and it has taken me this long to do
so. I believe I am about to embark upon a great reed discovery.

It is interesting that you mention the V12s because I'm still not sure
that they will do me well with my Pyne mouthpiece. I was told that
Glotin reeds are more suited for my Pyne mouthpiece. I've also been
told that the WhiteMaster reeds are great for Eb Clarinet.

There are certain reed brands that I am asking about to narrow down my
search. As I was telling another list member, I don't want to have
lived and never tried anything except Vandorens.
