I can't speak for the "Standard" Mitchell Lurie, but the premium reeds
(which I have used for donkey's years) are definititely softer than the
Vandoren. Also much more consistent and in my view a much better reed.

I haven't tried anything else for years and am still very happy with
them. If only they made them for Eb, Basset Horn and Bass......

Subject: [kl] reed question

Hi guys,
I just purchased two unopened boxes of Mitchell Lurie reeds
on ebay. They came in boxes of twelve, so I'm thinking they've
been around awhile and are really well-cured by now!
Does anyone know when they quit selling reeds in boxes of 12
and switched to 10? I'm trying to get an idea how old they
might be.
Also, I have noticed that these (#4 1/2) seem more like a #3
Vandoren. Are Mitchell Lurie reeds softer? This is my first
experience with them.
Thanks,
Sue
