Does anyone know if they recently changed the packaging on the Zonda Select reeds? In the past, they've come in a flat, tan box with a plastic container. Today, I received an orange box with individual paper reed holders. So was the packaging changed or did I just order the wrong reeds?

Most reed makes are switching to the "individual-foil-packed" school of reed packing. Personally, I hate it, but it's the paradigm shift in storage, and it doesn't look like it'll be stopped soon.

I looked on their website, and Weiner's website and both still show the packaging that's been around for years. You may have accidently ordered the "Zonda Select Classico" . Of course they may have changed their packaging without updating the websites yet. If the box has the word "classico" on it you have the wrong ones.

Interesting. I just ordered some about a week ago, and they came in the tan flat box. I google imaged both Zonda and Zonda Classico and didn't find anything matching the box description you mentioned.
Check your order receipt, because it should show your order on there. Could possibly be a mistake in shipping too.

Well your online name doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Perhaps she reads the Bulletin Board.

you never know what you're gonna get.
Actually Zonda seems fairly consistent to me. Much more so than Vandoren. Every once in a while i get a box of duds, but usually i get one that has 1 or 2 performance quality reeds...out of a box of five!
I wish Zonda would package in quantaties of ten though. I don't care if they change their packaging (unless of course they start individualy wrapping them), as long as they don't change anything in their manufacturing.

I always buy Zondas in boxes of 10. These are the "Classico" reeds though, and each box comes with a pack of woodwind drying papers. Personally I've tried many other kinds and continue trying others, but the Zonda is still my favourite.

best brand of reeds that are good right out of the box. gonzalez reeds are nice, but sometimes require slight adjustments to bring them out. with zonda's they're like plug and play. the only downside is that they tend to lose stability after about a week or two of continuous playing.Brenda wrote:

I've found the opposite is true. Perhaps it's because I don't play my reeds continuously for a week or two, rather there are 12 in my reed case that get rotated. I still play some Zondas that have been in rotation for months, and will occasionally call back into service some that have been set aside for a long time. With some minor adjustments they can be put back into the rotation.
However I haven't had the same success with the Gonzalez reeds whereas Abe Galper used to use them all the time. So there you go, it depends on your needs and your routine, it's a matter of trying out reeds with an open mind.
