I tried Pilgerstorfers for a while, probably a little over a year ago. I liked the Dolces, and the Rondos were quite good too. The Morrés were very brilliant sounding, almost too brilliant for me, although I'd be curious to try them again since I've made some changes to my technique since then.
The Exquisite reeds are Viennese cut — very thick heel. I tried them after Mr. Fobes gave me some when I visited his shop in SF about a year ago, and initially I really liked them, but I pretty quickly started to notice issues with articulation — a little tubby, and occasionally I got chirps. Could've been a reed-mouthpiece mismatch or just my technique back then.
More recently I was using Leuthners. They were also quite good, I think I liked them better than the Pilgerstorfers. This summer I switched back to V12s, but that's just a preference thing, not because the Leuthners were bad.
If you're going for a brighter/lighter sound, try the French cut Pilgerstorfer sample pack and the Leuthners.
