Re: Rigotti reeds

As part of trying almost every reed possible, Alexander and Rigotti were the only reeds that gave me a strange buzz (not sure of the right word in English) when I play. Maybe these just don't fit my mouthpiece (AFAIK both my soprano and bass mouthpieces are made to fit Vandoren reeds in theory). That was my experience with Rigotti so I am not playing them.

About Gonzalez that GBK mentioned, a few months ago in the winter I tried many strengths of FOF and regulars reeds (and also bass reeds) from them, and they gave me a nasty squeek (I think it is called chip in Englsh?). I forgot about them, but now in the very hot summer, I tried the exact same box, and they sounded great.

FWIW, I like Vandoren V12 the best, because they are more varied in strength within one box so fit more than one weather and they have the best sound for me. Gonzalez are a bit too much exactly the same so sometimes you are stuck unless you have a different strengths of them.
