 Gonzalez FOF vs. Vandoren V12
Author: andrewsong

Hello all. I know that various reed comparison charts exist, but they all seem to vary somewhat. Currently, I am using Gonzalez FOF 3.75's. However, lately I have found that they are slightly hard. So I was thinking about trying the 3.5's again. Also, I was thinking about trying V12's again for comparison matters.

What strength V12 correlates with 3.75 and 3.5 FOF's? I understand that there is a 3.5+ strength, so I was thinking about trying those and 4's.

Thanks!

I find Gonzalez FOF #3.25 to be equal to Vandoren V-12 #3.5 so FOF #3.5 might be similar to V-12 #3.5+ but it's been awhile since I've played Gonzalez reeds. I also find that Gonzalez takes few days longer to break-in than Vandoren.
