Re: Medir reeds

Here are a few thoughts,

I wasn't blown away by these reeds like I was with the Leuthners. I had five to try. Three 3.5 and two 4. The 3.5 strength felt consistent but on all three reeds the tone felt too "woody" or "reedy" which is not what I'm looking for. This is probably due to the heart of the reed not having to much material in comparison to the Leuthners. I also tried the reeds with a few different ligatures: Rovner MkII, Vandoren Klassik and my current GF System. I felt the same on all three ligatures that the tone was too "reedy". I might find a difference on a different mouthpiece so I will try on my Bay and a Vandoren, though I doubt my feelings will change.

It's just my two cents worth.
