It's my understanding that the D'Addario people have not changed the Reserve mouthpieces since bringing them into their product fold, barring relabeling.
Of course all is subject to change.
The D'Addario Reserve reed product line though, both Reserve and Reserve Classic do, as I understand it , represent shifts from the Rico Reserve product.
I like all 3 reed products. I also think the new D'Addario reed products to be superior to that I played under the Rico Reserve label.
I admit that my findings are anecdotal evidence as the D'Addario reed product line hasn't been out long enough for me to claim large sample size testing (and I would still just be one person doing the testing). Still more, as stated, products, especially a brand and model of reed, are always subject to change.
By no way or means are the mouthpiece products anything but quite good, IMHO and that of many other players, and, if nothing else, anything but shabby. Clearly we can disagree on just how good, but I think it would be unfair to say that significant work to produce this product line, regardless of whose name its under, including collaboration with Richie Hawley and Mark Nuccio, didn't go into producing this strong mouthpiece contender.
