 Pete Fountain Reeds
Author: leonardA

Just wanted to say that I tried a box of Marca Pete Fountain Reeds. They really do have a nice big round sound. I think on a hardness scale they are similar to Vandoren traditionals.

(warning - you will have to find it among the very creative limericks and poetry of some bulletin board contributors) ...GBK

GBK, thanks for your input. You may be right. Mine are new and haven't had time to "fail" yet. I have started two reeds and played each one a few nights. So far they seem ok, but maybe not as good as when I first played them. I'll see how they do.

That was interesting to hear about the PFs - I got a box recently and the way I break them in (15-20 min about 5-6 X one at a time till they are all broken in so I can see what adjustment needed don't laugh works for me) I haven't experienced what you did. I would be disappointed to experience the same thing you did because I really like them all so far. Another kind I'm evaluating for further use is Daniel's - so far my #1 choice. Anyone else have any experience with these reeds?
