I had some samples of these reeds and liked them very much. They are from
the same folks who make Zonda Reeds, so the cane is very nice. I've had a
few students who have found these reeds to be good, also. I make my own
reeds, and use Argendonax cane, which I like as well as anything I've
ever had. Argendonax is the Argentinian company that makes Zonda and
Gonzalez reeds.
