Re: bass clartinet reed choices

I haven't tried Gonzalez reeds myself so can't comment on them, but over the years I've found that the two brands I keep going back to on bass clarinet are Vandoren and Marca -- with the caveat that the latter reeds usually are resistant and dull-sounding out of the box and need to be scraped/sanded in order to play well. Once prepared, Marcas last long and play nicely, as do Vandorens generally. With the Rico Grand Concerts, I've had exactly the same experience as Larry Bocaner -- they sound good for a day or two then die a premature death.
