Bob: I agree this is kind of funny. After 10 years as a professional I went into education for 25 years.

It is important to note that I am in Ontario, Canada. I only say this because we pay 25% more than Americans do for the same product, be it clarinets, mouthpieces or reeds.

At one point I had a band of 110 kids. You can imagine the investment in reeds, not just clarinet but oboe and bassoon.

The fact of the matter is, we bought orange box Rico's because they were simply
the best we could get in volume for the money we had to spend. I am still gobsmacked that these reeds have pesticides. I appreciate that you have brought this to my attention. I had no idea, although pesticides are common in Ontario.

If we had really talented kids we would go crazy and buy some Vandorens, which also have pesticides.

I hope I am not held culpable for any future problems. Not likely, we are not that litigious in Canada.

I have since retired and I have started playing full time. I play a lot of shows. I just finished playing the Canadian premier of Hunchback of Notre Dame.

As you may remember, we are going to have to agree to disagree but I play R-13's, Greg Smith mouthpieces and D'Addario Reserve Classics. I play a lot so I need five or six out of a box that I can use. I realize that they also have pesticides.

All this having been said. Your contribution to this forum is extremely valuable. I appreciate the fact that you spend the time to respond to the most mundane comments, when you must have more relevant things to do. I always read your contributions.

I have to agree with you that Vandorens simply have became too inconsistent for me to use.

I totally agree with you that some of us older guys become set in our ways, and are not willing to look in other directions.

I play a lot so I need five or six out of a box that I can use.

I have enjoyed your posts very much.

I would love to try a Steuer Reeds. How do I do that in Canada?
