Subj: [kl] buying reeds online
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 12:12:16 -0400

Hi all,

I am about to make my first purchase of reeds online. I want to try
some Gonzales reeds. I have been playing on Vandoren V12 3 - 31/2
(depending on the clarinet i'm playing) - should I be getting a similar
strength in the gonzales? What is, if any, the comparison reed
strength? Or do places like woodwind and brasswind take returns if I
were to buy two sizes? Although, I must admit, that at 20$ US a box
plus shipping over the border buying two boxes just to have one just
sit there unused seems a little much! I mean, that's almost 5 drinks
IN the bar plus tip and nachos! <g>

Thanks,
Barb
