Re: Gonzalez / Vandoren

I know a lot of members on this board have praised Gonzalez reeds, but I tried them and I like Vandorens better. The Gonzalez reeds seemed too weak in the upper registers and they weren't very full sounding. Even after adjusting them, I couldn't get them to sound to my liking. Gonzalez are all initially playable unlike Vandorens, where some are too hard and some are too soft. The reed strengths are comparable to Vandorens.

Gonzalez are worth trying because I am sure they sound different on different mouthpieces. Expect to pay more $ for these reeds.
