This whole discussion reminds me of when I was in college on the California Central Coast (1960s). At the time, we had no music major but we did have a large supply of avid musicians. As a band officer, I was poking around the instrument room one day and found a brand new Leblanc Eb. We had no Eb player at the time, so I did some arm twisting and became the Eb clarinet section. The problem was getting Eb reeds and I was a dedicated Vandoren user (in the hinged top magenta box). My parents lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and there was a store in San Francisco that would occasionally get in a box of Vandoren Eb reeds. When they got a box of Eb reeds, they would call my parents and mother would go get it and ship it to me. I have to admit that I learned a lot about adjusting reeds since I had to make every reed count. My time playing effer led to major improvements in my playing Bb.
