Re: New ARIA reeds from Brad Behn

I also wanted to jump in with my thoughts about Brad's ARIA reeds. For a reference point, I typically play on a Peter Leuthner French cut 3.5. Per Brad's recommendation, I tried a strength 4 ARIA, as they tend to run a bit soft.

These reeds exhibited wonderful flexibility, center of tone, and clarity in articulation. I particularly appreciated the center and hold that the reeds have while still being incredibly vibrant. The box I purchased was incredibly consistent and the reeds have been incredibly durable since I completed my break-in process. The cane seems to be of very high quality and vibrates well. The price point is extremely competitive, especially considering the high quality and consistency across reeds.

I tried these on a variety of mouthpieces, both new and vintage pieces. Results were great across the board. Highly recommended!
