Are there any other brands that are French cut? Please forgive my ignorance,
but I am almost ashamed to admit that I am familiar with little other
than.... GASP! Rico reeds. Perhaps I didn't play a good enough instrument
back then to have my teachers take me seriously? See what five years on
resonite will do to ya?

Hence my enjoyment of this list. I am greatly helped by the exposure to
knowledgeable opinions.

Gary
