How do their reed strengths compare to Vandorens?
Do they feel about the same, or would one say that Gonzalez is about half a strength softer or stronger than Vandorens?

Some players feel that the Gonzalez reeds are about ¼ softer than V12s of the same strength. Thus if you normally play a V12 3.5, you may want to try a Gonzalez 3.75.
Other players find the strengths between the Gonzalez and the V12 to be quite similar. (3.5 = 3.5)
One thing is for certain - a box of Gonzalez reeds will not vary ½ strength up or down, as Vandorens frequently do...GBK

Does anyone know whether Gonzalez has a UK distributor? I don't really want to order things from the USA (not through prejudice, it's just time-consuming.)

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

David,
Argendonax is the manufacturer, but you might want to contact Phil Shapiro at Davie Cane in Florida (US Distributor). I'd be willing to bet he can help you out with a minimum of pain and time.

I've found Gonzales to run about 1/4 to 1/2 harder than V12's.
Then again, the sample size was quite limited (a box of Gonzales 4's was too hard for me to play when I was using V12 4's)
