Does anyone know what is happening with Gonzalez reeds (if anything)? I've used their FOF Bb clarinet reeds for years, but my two usual US retailers seem to have discontinued Gonzalez products. Another US retailer I learned from the Gonzalez web site told me they only have one soft strength.

I'm not sure it helps but the UK sources I use for Gonzalez seem to have good stock levels at the moment.

After unsuccessful contacts with two more retailers, I finally found a retailer with reeds in stock. They are not listed on the Gonzalez web site. I bought enough reeds to give me time to decide if I want to search for a different brand of reed.
My on-line searches resulted in Amazon sending an email advertising Gonzalez reeds from a store in Japan. The price was about double what I paid in the US and the delivery time was six weeks. I did not order from there.

Yeah, on the Frederick Weiner site the GD clarinet reeds have been sold out for a few months and I fear they've been discontinued? Anyone have any word on this?

I’m thinking that if anyone knows it might be Franklin Cohen in Cleveland. Is anyone able to contact him?
