HI Barbara,

Can you share the URL for the on-line Gonzales reeds?

I play the same reeds and same strenght on a B45 mouthpiecs, let me know if
you like the way the Gonzales reeds play. (Generally, I like the V12s. but
I find a some inconsistencies from reed to reed in the same box. I'm
wondering if the Gonzales reeds are more "even temprered".)

Please let me know your findings.
