After my 5 day break in process here is my report (3,5 strength):
Out of the box of 10, three came out perfect for performance, three were able to be worked into fine ensemble playing reeds, two were a tad to soft for my liking, and the last two were resistant and stuffy. To me that's a fairly great box, the three that I said were great for ensemble playing come VERY close to the performance ready reeds, however their just missing that extra crispness for performance
Compared to V12's I find that they are generally as described. They seem to hold a centered tone a bit better than my V12's and have the same color. The only thing that to me is a bit dissatisfactional is that they miss a tiny bit of warmth that V12's have. Lastly, for some reason the cane for these reeds looked and felt a bit more refined than my last boxes of V12 reeds (Thumbs up). Overall, I'm quite happy with this new cut, and will most likely continue using them. In fact I might use them over V12 in my upcoming state audition :o
Equipment: CL4 Series 13, M/O Ligature, Buffet E12F, Vandoren V21 (3,5)
